Bumblebees of Norfolk

As an aid to identification, the Norfolk bumblebees are presented here as three sets of six: • six common species which are widespread across the county and which are easily identified as queens in spring, • six uncommon species with a restricted distribution in Norfolk, • six species of cuckoo bee. These parasitise the nests of the social bumblebees and so do not have a worker caste of their own.
