DNA SHOWS that this is a super, black-tailed colour pattern of the widespread Bombus cryptarum, a species also found with the usual white tail in Alaska and the UK

Bumblebees, cute mysteries of the sky. Still understudied, the evolution of their mitochondrial DNA is found to support the #Monophyly status of Bombus & its subgenera, offering exciting opportunities for future research in this field! 🐝 academic.oup.com/zoolinnean/adv… The Linnean Society of London

Barcodes appear to show a flush of unrecognised species among Mexican bumblebees, but at least some of them may be explained by barcode-like pseudogenes - we begin to explore this for the weisi-complex (pic of B. weisi worker in Chiapas 2023) mapress.com/zt/article/vie…

Have you ever seen such a strikingly-coloured bumblebee? 🤩 The beautiful Bombus kashmirensis is found in the Himalayas - the birthplace of bumblebees! This is just one of the species you can learn about at our exciting event this Sunday. 📷 - Paul Williams Bumblebee Conservation Trust

This is one of several clover leys near our village, thriving on the waterlogged fields. Surprised to see quite a few male bumblebees out today, incredible they have survived all the recent rain!

Another line has been dangerously crossed in Lebanon: IDF shelling of United Nations peacekeepers whose positions are known. We condemn this inadmissible act, for which there is no justification. The EU reiterates its full support to UNIFIL , to its UNSC-mandated mission & its troops.

There is now a distinct and monstrous possibility that the presidency will be taken by someone who loses the popular vote by many millions, even a landslide, and yet gains power; someone entirely without moral compass and wholly indifferent to the distinction between truth and

Yet again, we note that breaching a UN position and damaging UN assets is a flagrant violation of international law and Security Council resolution 1701. It also endangers the safety and security of our peacekeepers in violation of international humanitarian law.

サワギキョウで盗蜜してるっぽいオオマルハナバチのオス。齧って穴を開けているのではなく、おしべの下をくぐらずに側面から舌を差し込んでいるように見えました。 Bombus hypocrita

Hi there. I used to be a reasonable Republican. And I sat and watched Trump and Vance behave like a couple of schoolyard bullies. But the MAGA press machine has told me to join with all the other nodding dog cabinet ministers and tweet out this cut and paste BS. So here it is.
