Descriptions

Bombus terrestris, the Buff-tailed Bumblebee or Large Earth Bumblebee is one of the most numerous bumblebee species in Europe. The queen is 2-2.7 cm long, while the workers are 1½-2 cm. The latter are characterized by their white-ended abdomens and look (apart from their yellowish bands being darker in direct comparison) just like those of the White-tailed Bumblebee (B. lucorum), a close relative. The queens of B. terrestris have the namesake buff-white abdomen ("tail") tip; this area is white like in the workers in B. lucorum.

Hymenoptera stings account for more deaths in the United States than any other venom. Although allergic reactions to Honey bee stings are common, allergy to Bumble bee venom is an uncommon form of Hymenoptera venom allergy. Copyright Copyright © 2006 Phadia AB.
