The buff-tailed bumblebee is a fuzzy, striped bee and one of the most common bumblebees in Europe. It lives in colonies and is one of the main bees used to pollinate greenhouse crops. It can also be found in many places outside its home range, where it has spread after escaping from greenhouses.1

它吃什么？

It feeds on nectar and pollen from flowers. Workers learn which flower colours give the most food, so they can forage efficiently.1

怎样认出它

Workers have white-ended abdomens.1
The queen has a buff-white abdomen tip, which gives the bee its name.1
Yellowish bands that are darker than those of the white-tailed bumblebee when the two are compared side by side.1
Queens are 20 to 22 mm long, males 14 to 16 mm and workers 11 to 17 mm.1

常被误认为： The white-tailed bumblebee (Bombus lucorum), a close relative, looks almost identical. When the two are compared side by side, the yellowish bands of the buff-tailed bumblebee look darker.1

它对人有多危险？

对人的危险: 轻微像被蜜蜂蜇一下或更轻。对人基本无害。

如果它蜇人

刮掉蜜蜂的蜇针，冷敷患处。
如果这个人呼吸困难、脸或喉咙肿胀，或感觉要晕倒，这是过敏急症：拨打急救电话，如果他们有肾上腺素笔就使用。

一定先拨打你的急救电话（112、000、911）。这里是一般急救指导，不是医疗建议。急救基础

注意安全

永远不要摸、抓或逗弄野生动物，即使是很小的，即使它看起来在睡觉或已经死了。
给它留出空间。如果遇到它，保持冷静，慢慢后退，让它走自己的路。
如果被它蜇了：保持冷静，保持不动，拨打你的急救电话（112、000、911）或尽快去医院。记住它长什么样，拍张照片会有帮助。

它不是冲着你来的。它用毒液捕猎或保护自己，而且它更愿意躲起来。更多安全知识

值得了解

事实

Worker bees vary unusually widely in size, with thorax lengths from 2.3 to 6.9 mm. This is unusual among bees.1

It has escaped from captivity and is now considered an invasive species in places such as Japan, Chile, Argentina and Tasmania.1

It is one of the main species used for greenhouse pollination, which is why it is found in many countries where it is not native.1

The queen usually mates with only one male, unlike many social insects.1

The colony works as a team. It has three social castes, with the queen laying eggs, workers foraging and defending the nest, and males leaving to find mates.1
