Also in the centre of the photograph you can see pollen stores from various plants (a mix of colours). In the bottom left of the picture you can see wax casings with larvae. The casings are mostly open, and the workers feed the larvae through these openings.<br \/>In the left part, a brown formation. These are gradually emerging larval casings, which are growing and already becoming independent.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c3b402f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c3b402f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" id=\"#\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"attachment_24897\" style=\"width: 1981px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-24897\" class=\"wp-image-24897\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cmelaciplus.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Cmelaci-PLUS-Cmelak-zemni-Bombus-lucorum-hnizdo-nest-Foto-Jaromir-Cizek-5-e1641451600859.png\" alt=\"Bumblebees PLUS - Buff-tailed Bumblebee (Bombus lucorum) - nest - Photo by Jarom\u00edr \u010c\u00ed\u017eek\" width=\"1971\" height=\"1478\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cmelaciplus.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Cmelaci-PLUS-Cmelak-zemni-Bombus-lucorum-hnizdo-nest-Foto-Jaromir-Cizek-5-e1641451600859.png 1971w, https:\/\/www.cmelaciplus.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Cmelaci-PLUS-Cmelak-zemni-Bombus-lucorum-hnizdo-nest-Foto-Jaromir-Cizek-5-e1641451600859-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/www.cmelaciplus.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Cmelaci-PLUS-Cmelak-zemni-Bombus-lucorum-hnizdo-nest-Foto-Jaromir-Cizek-5-e1641451600859-1024x768.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.cmelaciplus.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Cmelaci-PLUS-Cmelak-zemni-Bombus-lucorum-hnizdo-nest-Foto-Jaromir-Cizek-5-e1641451600859-768x576.png 768w, https:\/\/www.cmelaciplus.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Cmelaci-PLUS-Cmelak-zemni-Bombus-lucorum-hnizdo-nest-Foto-Jaromir-Cizek-5-e1641451600859-1536x1152.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.cmelaciplus.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Cmelaci-PLUS-Cmelak-zemni-Bombus-lucorum-hnizdo-nest-Foto-Jaromir-Cizek-5-e1641451600859-1232x924.png 1232w, https:\/\/www.cmelaciplus.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Cmelaci-PLUS-Cmelak-zemni-Bombus-lucorum-hnizdo-nest-Foto-Jaromir-Cizek-5-e1641451600859-1440x1080.png 1440w, https:\/\/www.cmelaciplus.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Cmelaci-PLUS-Cmelak-zemni-Bombus-lucorum-hnizdo-nest-Foto-Jaromir-Cizek-5-e1641451600859-1320x990.png 1320w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1971px) 100vw, 1971px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-24897\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Buff-tailed bumblebee (Bombus lucorum) \u2013 nest<br \/>Photo: J. \u010c\u00ed\u017eek<\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-99db9ca elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"99db9ca\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" id=\"9\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4><strong>Larval feeding<\/strong><\/h4><ul><li><strong>Dust collectors<\/strong> (pollen stores) The queen and workers scrape pollen from the pollen baskets into storage chambers formed from empty cocoons or as wax structures in the centre of the nest. It appears that bumblebees use various methods to create these stores. What is important, however, is that they store the pollen and distribute it from these chambers.<br \/>The workers tamp the pollen in the cells and adjust it with their mandibles to reduce the surface area in contact with the air. The worker bees do not seal the cells. <br \/>This protects it from oxidation and degradation. They take it from here to feed the larvae and mix it with nectar, feeding the larvae with the mixture through feeding holes.\u00a0<\/li><\/ul><ul><li><p><strong style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text ); font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif;\">Woodland bumblebees are a polylegetic species \u2013 <\/strong><span style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text ); font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif; font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight );\">They don't prefer just one plant, but a wide spectrum of different flowering plants. <\/span><span style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text ); font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif; font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight );\">This is why different colours and shades of pollen can be found in the pollen stores, brought back by the worker bees. This is due to the fact that bumblebees do not cooperate like honeybees, and each worker collects pollen independently, without sharing information about its source with her sisters.<\/span><\/p><p>Woodland bumblebees favour the flowers of currants, raspberries, as well as lupins, dead-nettles, fruit trees and willow

May: \u201eIn the females of bumblebees Ps. rupestris and Ps. barbutellus, I found five barbs on each stylet, and three on the sting groove just behind the tip. The barbs are more developed than in the females of B. lucorum, but are also only visible under a microscope. Without a doubt, all species of bumblebees and cuckoo bumblebees have barbs on the groove and stylets. I found no barbs on the groove of honeybee workers. The reason why bumblebees can use their stingers several times without them breaking off is not\" <br \/>So, is it that the sting doesn't have barbs, but rather the barbs are short and blunt?\u201c Will he test that too? \ud83d\ude00<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6886b8b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6886b8b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5><strong>Does determining the type of bumblebee seem complicated to you?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h5><p>Don\u2019t despair \u2013 you can\u2019t tell just by looking, and as you can see from the diagram below, even a DNA analysis might not provide a definitive answer in this case.<\/p><p>In this instance, however, it will help you that you are more likely to encounter the Buff-tailed Bumblebee (B. lucorum) than the Cryptic Bumblebee (B. cryptarum) and very unlikely the Giant Bumblebee (B. magnus).
