Melilotus Altissimus
''Melilotus altissimus'', known by the common names tall yellow sweetclover, tall melilot and golden melilot is a plant species of the genus ''Melilotus''. Pollinators Melilotus altissimus is a preferred food-plant of Bombus lucorum ''Bombus lucorum'', the white-tailed bumblebee, is a species of bumblebee, widespread and common throughout Europe. This name has been widely used for a range of nearly identical-looking or cryptic species of bumblebees. In 1983, Scholl and Obre ..., B. terrestris and B. lapidarius - all three are short-tongued bumblebees found in the UK.Carvell, C. (2002).

Melilotus
''Melilotus'', known as melilot or sweet clover is a genus of legumes in the family Fabaceae, native to Europe, Asia, and Africa. The genus is closely related to ''Trifolium'' (clovers). Several species are common grassland plants and weeds of cultivated ground, and some species are now found worldwide as naturalised plants. The scientific and English names both derive from Greek ''melílōtos'' from ''méli'' (honey), and ''lōtos'' ( lotus), via Latin ''melilōtos'' and Old French ''mélilot''. The alternative name "sweet clover" varies in orthography, also cited as sweet-clover and sweetclover. Other names include "kumoniga", from the Cumans.Bulgarian Folk Customs, Mercia MacDermott, pg 27 Description The species are annual, biennial, or perennial herbaceous plants, growing to 50–150 cm tall, with trifoliate leaves similar to clover but narrower, the leaflets only about half as wide as long, and with a serrated margin; each leaf also has two small basal stipules.

Bombus Lucorum
''Bombus lucorum'', the white-tailed bumblebee, is a species of bumblebee, widespread and common throughout Europe. This name has been widely used for a range of nearly identical-looking or cryptic species of bumblebees. In 1983, Scholl and Obrecht even coined the term ''Bombus lucorum'' complex to explain the three taxa (''B. lucorum, Bombus magnus'', and '' Bombus cryptarum'') that cannot be easily differentiated from one another by their appearances. A recent review of all of these species worldwide has helped to clarify its distribution in Europe and northern Asia, almost to the Pacific. ''B. lucorum'' reaches the Barents Sea in the North. However, in southern Europe, although found in Greece it is an upland species with its distribution never quite reaching the Mediterranean. Compared to other bumblebee species, the individuals of ''B. lucorum'' have shorter tongues, and this characteristic enable them to rob nectar. The worker bee uses the horny sheath around its tongue t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Bombus Terrestris
''Bombus terrestris'', the buff-tailed bumblebee or large earth bumblebee, is one of the most numerous bumblebee species in Europe. It is one of the main species used in greenhouse pollination, and so can be found in many countries and areas where it is not native, such as Tasmania. Moreover, it is a eusocial insect with an overlap of generations, a division of labour, and cooperative brood care. The queen is monogamous which means she mates with only one male. ''B. terrestris'' workers learn flower colours and forage efficiently. Taxonomy and phylogenetics ''B. terrestris'' is part of the order Hymenoptera, which is composed of ants, bees, and wasps. The family Apidae specifically consists of bees. It is also part of the subfamily Apinae. There are 14 tribe lineages within Apinae, and ''B. terrestris'' is in the bumblebee tribe, Bombini. It is in the genus ''Bombus'', which consists entirely of bumblebees, and the subgenus ''Bombus sensu stricto''. This subgenus contains close ...

Bombus Lapidarius
''Bombus lapidarius'' is a species of bumblebee in the subgenus ''Melanobombus''. Commonly known as the red-tailed bumblebee, ''B. lapidarius'' can be found throughout much of Central Europe. Known for its distinctive black and red body, this social bee is important in pollination. Taxonomy and phylogeny The red-tailed bumblebee is a part of the order Hymenoptera, family Apidae, and the genus ''Bumblebee, Bombus'', which includes many species including ''Bombus terrestris'', ''Bombus lucorum'', and ''Bombus hypnorum''. Description and identification The red-tailed bumblebee is typically distinguished by its black body with red markings around the abdomen. Worker females and the queen look similar, though the queen is much larger than the worker females. Males typically have the red and black coloration with a yellow band around the abdomen and yellow markings on the face. Further, ''B. lapidarius'' tend to have a medium-sized proboscis, which is significant in that it allows ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
