Megabombus
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). Genus ''Bombus'' Subgenus '' Alpigenobombus'' *'' Bombus angustus'' *'' Bombus breviceps'' *'' Bombus genalis'' *'' Bombus grahami'' *'' Bombus kashmirensis'' *''Bombus nobilis'' *'' Bombus wurflenii'' Subgenus ''Alpinobombus'' *'' Bombus alpinus'' *''Bombus balteatus'' – golden-belted bumble bee *''Bombus hyperboreus'' *'' Bombus kirbiellus'' *'' Bombus kluanensis'' *'' Bombus natvigi'' *'' Bombus neoboreus'' *''Bombus polaris'' *'' Bombus pyrrhopygus'' Subgenus ''Bombias'' *''Bombus auricomus'' – black-and-gold bumble bee *'' Bombus ...

Bumblebee
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 queen ...

Bombus Cryptarum - Solidago Virgaurea - Keila
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 taxon, 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 eusociality, social insects that form colony (biology), colonies with a single queen. The colonies are smaller than those of honey bees, growing to as few as 50 individuals in a nest. Psithyrus, Cuckoo bumblebees are brood parasite, brood parasitic and do not make nests or form colonies; their queens aggressively ...
