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

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

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

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

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

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

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