Alpinobombus
The list presented here is a checklist of world bumblebees (Tribe Bombini) based on the ''Bombus'' phylogeny presented by Cameron ''et al'' (2007) and grouped by subgenus following the revision of Williams ''et al'' (2008). The bumblebee fossil record extends back to the Late Eocene in North America and England with the most diversity of fossils found during the Miocene. The fossil species were discussed and revised by Dehon ''et al'' (2019).

Bombus Hyperboreus
''Bombus hyperboreus'' is a species of Arctic bumblebee with a circumpolar distribution. The species is primarily found in the arctic areas of Greenland, northern Scandinavia, and Russia. In 2015 the nearctic species, '' Bombus natvigi'', was separated from this species, based on genetic analysis. Accordingly, ''Bombus hyperboreus'' is limited to the Palaearctic, despite older literature listing this species as occurring in the Nearctic. It is a brood parasite, and attacks and enslaves other bumblebee colonies in order to reproduce as they do not even have the ability to produce workers themselves. Most of its targets are colonies of species of the same subgenus, '' Alpinobombus''. Taxonomy and phylogeny ''Bombus hyperboreus'' was originally named ''B. arcticus'' in 1802. Zoologist Carl Schönherr independently named the species as ''B. hyperboreus'' in 1809. It was not until 1950 that ''B. hyperboreus'' was used commonly to identify the species, when it was recognized that the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Bombus Polaris
''Bombus polaris'' is a common Arctic bumblebee species. ''B. polaris'' is one of two bumblebees that live above the Arctic Circle. The other is its social parasite ''Bombus hyperboreus''. ''B. polaris'' is a social bee that can survive at near freezing temperatures. It has developed multiple adaptations to live in such cold temperatures. B. polaris has a thicker coat of hair than most bees, utilizes thermoregulation, and makes insulated nests. Taxonomy and phylogeny ''Bombus polaris'' is part of the family Apidae, which is part of the larger class of Insecta. Apidae is the largest family of bees, including several species of bees used by humans for honey consumption. ''B. polaris'' is part of the subgenus '' Alpinobombus'' along with '' Bombus alpinus'', '' Bombus balteatus'', ''Bombus hyperboreus'', and '' Bombus neoboreus''. ''Alpinobombus'' bees occur in arctic and high alpine regions. It is of the Bombini tribe, which feeds on pollen or nectar. Description and identificat ...

Bombus Alpinus
''Bombus alpinus'' is a species of bumblebee. It is native to Europe and Eurasia, where it occurs in Austria, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Norway, Romania, Russia, Sweden, and Switzerland. This bee occurs in tundra habitat and in alpine climates on mountains. It can be found in mountain meadows, heaths, and willow woodlands. It collects pollen from mountain plants such as willows, bog blueberry, bird's-foot trefoil, and louseworts. Some populations are threatened by habitat degradation caused by climate change In common usage, climate change describes global warming—the ongoing increase in global average temperature—and its effects on Earth's climate system. Climate change in a broader sense also includes previous long-term changes to E ....

Bombus Pyrrhopygus
A bumblebee (or bumble bee, bumble-bee, or humble-bee) is any of over 250 species in the genus ''Bombus'', part of Apidae, one of the bee families. This genus is the only extant group in the tribe Bombini, though a few extinct related genera (e.g., ''Calyptapis'') are known from fossils. They are found primarily in higher altitudes or latitudes in the Northern Hemisphere, although they are also found in South America, where a few lowland tropical species have been identified. European bumblebees have also been introduced to New Zealand and Tasmania. Female bumblebees can sting repeatedly, but generally ignore humans and other animals. Most bumblebees are social insects that form colonies with a single queen. The colonies are smaller than those of honey bees, growing to as few as 50 individuals in a nest. Cuckoo bumblebees are brood parasitic and do not make nests or form colonies; their queens aggressively invade the nests of other bumblebee species, kill the resident queens ...

Bombus Balteatus
''Bombus balteatus'', the golden-belted bumble bee, is a species of bumblebee with a boreal and high altitude distribution in northern Eurasia and North America. Range and distribution This species is found in Finland, northern Sweden, Russia, and North America from arctic Alaska, Canada, and mountain ranges in the United States such as the Sierra Nevada and the White Mountains down south to New Mexico. Their preferred habitat includes high altitude and boreal regions, and they are often found at higher elevations than the tree line. ''Bombus balteatus'' is often most abundant where ''Castilleja'', '' Chrysothammnus'', and ''Mertensia'' plant species are common. Some populations of bees, including in the Rocky Mountains, specifically Mount Evans, Niwot Ridge and Pennsylvania Mountain have declined in the 21st century. Morphology ''Bombus balteatus'' is a long-tongued bumblebee. Often the tongue length reaches two-thirds or more the length of the body. This morphological ...
