The Patagonian bumblebee is a large, furry bee that lives naturally only in the temperate forests of southern South America. Its queens are among the biggest bumblebees in the world. Its numbers have fallen since other bumblebee species were brought into the region to pollinate crops.1

Leef in
Southern Chile and southern Argentina, including Patagonia, in temperate forest regions1
Suid-Amerika
Tuis
It lives in temperate forests in central and southern Patagonia, in both continuous and fragmented forest. Queens start their nests in underground cavities, such as rodent burrows.1
Lengte
4 cm (1,6 in)1
Gewig
500 mg tot 1,5 g (0 oz tot 0,1 oz)1
Topspoed
omtrent 36 km/h (22 mph)
Vlieënd, rowwe skatting
Wat eet dit?
It forages nectar and pollen from many plants, including Lapageria rosea, Alstroemeria aurea and Eucryphia cordifolia. It spends more time on each flower than related bumblebee species.1

Hoe om dit te herken

  • Mostly red-orange in colour, with a completely red-orange thorax.1
  • The abdomen is a lighter orange, fading slightly towards the end, and has a rounded tip.1
  • The head, wings and legs are distinctly black.1
  • Long bristles cover most of the body, giving it a very furry look.1
  • Queens can reach up to 4 cm from head to tail and weigh around 0.5 to 1.5 grams.1

Word dikwels verwar met: The syrphid fly Aneriophora aureorufa looks very similar to this bumblebee. The two have similar colour and size and can be hard to tell apart in the wild because of their similar flight.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

1

It is one of the largest bee species in the world, and its furry look has earned it the nickname 'flying mouse'.1

2

It often visits red flowers, which most bees avoid. It can detect red through a specific receptor system.1

3

A syrphid fly in Patagonia, Aneriophora aureorufa, has evolved to look and fly much like this bumblebee, which may help it avoid predators.1

4

In the Maulino forest of central Chile, individuals living in fragmented forest have longer wings relative to their body size, because they need to fly longer distances between patches.1

5

Its populations began to decline after non-native bumblebees were introduced into Chile to pollinate crops.1

6

It is the only native bumblebee species in southern South America.1
