The red-tailed bumblebee is a black bee with red markings at the back of its body. It lives across much of Central Europe, including Britain and Ireland. It is an important pollinator of flowers and crops, and like other bumblebees it can sting.1

Hoe om dit te herken

  • Black body with red markings around the abdomen.1
  • Males have red and black colouring, a yellow band around the abdomen and yellow markings on the face.1
  • Workers and the queen look similar, but the queen is much larger than the workers.1

Word dikwels verwar met: Rarer bumblebees such as Bombus ruderarius have a similar appearance.1

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

The bees warm their nest by producing heat with their flight muscles, which they use to incubate the brood.1

2

Cuckoo bumblebees can invade its nests by copying its chemical scent or by producing a substance that repels the workers.1

3

Males mark spots with scent to attract females, and these scents are often copied by cuckoo bumblebees.1

4

Some individuals fly as far as 1,750 metres from the nest to find food, although most forage much closer.1

5

Males travel much farther than workers, which may help keep the population genetically varied.1

6

It forages and pollinates at higher temperatures than many other bumblebee species.1
