Bombus pascuorum
The Common Carder Bumble Bee is a fuzzy little bee that loves to collect pollen from flowers. They are important for helping plants grow by spreading pollen around.
Habitat: Grasslands
The Common Carder Bumble Bee is distinguished by its dense, ginger-brown hair covering its entire body, giving it a uniform fuzzy appearance. Unlike many other bumblebees, it lacks distinct dark bands. This overall tawny coloration makes it easily recognizable.
