The common eastern bumblebee is a furry, black and yellow bee. It is the most commonly seen bumblebee across much of eastern North America, including towns, cities and fields. Its visits to flowers help pollinate many crops, so it matters to farmers and gardeners.1

Tuis

It lives in eastern temperate forests, farmland, wetlands, woods and urban and suburban areas. It nests underground in open fields and woods, in tunnels about 30 to 90 cm below the surface.1

Lengte

8,5 mm tot 2,3 cm (0,3 in tot 0,9 in)1

Vlieënd, rowwe skatting

Wat eet dit?

They feed on pollen and nectar from many flowers, including clover, goldenrod, rose and blueberry plants. Most bees in the colony eat honey, which they make by swallowing pollen and nectar and mixing them with enzymes in their stomachs.1

Hoe om dit te herken

Queens and workers are black with a yellow thorax (the middle part of the body) and a yellow first abdominal segment (the first part of the rear body).1
Males have a yellow face and head, and their coloring is slightly different from queens and workers.1
They have short, even hair and a long, rectangular body.1
Queens are the largest, at 17 to 23 mm long. Workers measure 8.5 to 16 mm and males 12 to 18 mm.1

Word dikwels verwar met: They look similar to Bombus bimaculatus, B. perplexus, B. vagans, B. sandersoni and B. separatus.1

Gifkrag

Steke

Gif kom deur 'n angel uit.

Hoe gevaarlik is dit vir mense?

Gevaar vir mense: LigSoos 'n bysteek of minder. Basies onskadelik vir mense.

As dit steek

Skraap 'n byangel uit en koel die plek af.
As die persoon sukkel om asem te haal, die gesig of keel swel, of hy voel flou, is dit 'n allergiese noodgeval: bel jou noodnommer en gebruik sy adrenalienpen (outo-inspuiter) as hy een het.

Bel altyd eers jou noodnommer (112, 000, 911). Dit is algemene noodhulpraad, nie mediese advies nie. Noodhulp-basiese beginsels

Bly veilig

Moet nooit aan 'n wilde dier raak, dit vang of terg nie, selfs nie 'n kleintjie nie, en selfs nie as dit lyk of dit slaap of dood is nie.
Gee dit spasie. As jy een raakloop, bly kalm, stap stadig terug en laat dit sy eie pad gaan.
As een jou steek: bly kalm, bly stil, bel jou noodnommer (112, 000, 911) of kom vinnig by 'n hospitaal uit. Onthou hoe dit gelyk het, 'n foto help.

Dit is nie uit om jou te kry nie. Dit gebruik sy gif om kos te vang of om homself te beskerm, en kruip baie eerder weg. Meer oor veilig bly

Feite

Queen bees can stay underwater for up to a week without drowning, which may help them survive floods or wet winters.1

Foragers use traplining, visiting flowers in the same repeatable order. This saves time and energy.1

Foraging bees share information about good food sources with other bees in the nest.1

Inside the nest, smaller workers stay near the centre and feed the young, while bigger workers work as foragers and guards on the outside.1

Commercially raised colonies are used to pollinate tomatoes, blueberries, raspberries and pumpkins in greenhouses.1
