Posted @withregram • @bumblebeeconservationtrust Bumblebee ID #TopTipThursday 🐝 To identify a bumblebee, it is easiest to start with the tail colour. Is it white, red or gingery-brown? ⬜🟥🟫 This splits bumblebees into three groups. If it has a white tail, it may have the classic yellow and black bands, but these will appear in a particular pattern. This is the aptly named White-tailed bumblebee (Bombus lucorum). She has a yellow band at the top of the thorax (near her head) and a second yellow band at the top of her abdomen.
