AR Bumble Bees |
|
Working list of the Bumble Bees likely in Arkansas. Obtained from internet sources. This does not include the Cuckoo bumblebees and we likely have five or six of those as well. States are from confirmed distributions. There are likely 24 or so eastern species and only 7 occur in Florida as they tend to favor cooler climates with their excellent temperature regulation capabilities. Images of confirmed species on the internet are not common. Links for photos are now available on all of these species. These are from the excellent Pickering site. (Note the second form of B. rufocinctus is linked to the descriptor. |
