The tree bumblebee is a bumblebee that lives across much of Europe and northern Asia. It has spread to Great Britain, Ireland and Iceland since the start of the twenty-first century. It often nests near people and can reach flowers in places many other bees do not.1

Tuis

It often lives near human settlements and prefers to nest above ground, including in bird boxes. It likes forests but favours human dwellings where there are fewer trees, and it nests in holes and walls in trees. It avoids areas with a lot of rapeseed.1

Wat eet dit?

It visits a very wide range of flowering plants, including rhododendron, cherry, grape hyacinth, blueberry, raspberry and bramble. It has a strong preference for hawthorn and blackthorn flowers compared with other bumblebees. It stores pollen in separate cells and feeds each larva individually.1

Hoe om dit te herken

The thorax (the middle part of the body) is usually a uniform ginger colour, though some have a darker or black thorax.1
The abdomen (the rear body) is covered in black hair.1
The tail is always white.1
Workers are often small, while males (drones) are much bigger in comparison.1

Hoe gevaarlik is dit vir mense?

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

The tree bumblebee is generally quite docile. If disturbed, it can defend its nest and has been known to sting people it sees as a threat.1

Wat doen dit as dit bang is?

If disturbed, it can defend its nest proactively and may sting.1

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

Queens can mate with more than one male, which is unusual for bumblebees, and a female may mate up to 6 times.1

Because of multiple mating, sisters in a colony may have different fathers.1

The species has a symbiotic relationship with phoretic mites, which it carries around and which probably feed on mushrooms or nest parasites.1

Within a colony, a worker's sister is about 75% genetically related to her, while a brother is about 25% related.1

The first British sighting was on 17 July 2001 near the village of Landford in Wiltshire.1

A nest can hold 150 workers or more, and some authorities say up to 400.1
