Early bumblee (Bombus pratorum) - a photo on Flickriver

            This is one of the most common bumblebee species and is found throughout the UK. It is a small bee and an important pollinator of soft fruit such as raspberries and blackberries. They also visit long, tubular flowers and open flowers, the queens are commonly seen on rhododendron flowers. They nest underground, often using old small mammal nests, or in old bird nests in tree holes or bird boxes. Colonies are small with fewer than 100 workers. As the common name suggests the queens will emerge from hibernation early in the year, between March and May depending on latitude. They may have a second generation later in the year.
