Bumblebees (New Naturalist 98)

Description:

A detailed up-to-date account of the behaviour and ecology of bumblebees by a leading expert. Combining 15 years of field studies with the latest research, the author provides a detailed and comprehensive account of the lives of the 25 species found in the UK. Includes: colour photos of the sexes and castes of all species; photographs of habitats; identification key; information on identification features, foraging behaviour and distribution; conservation, status and habitat requirements. These familiar insects are important pollinators of many plants, but there has been an alarming decline, with three of the UK populations already extinct and another nine on the endangered species list
