Bombus lapidarius Linnaeus 1758

Description

Bombus lapidarius (Linnaeus, 1758)

It is mainly distributed from northern Morocco, southern Spain, Sicily and southern Greece in the south, and to northern Sweden in the north. It occurs from Ireland, in the west, to the Ural Mountains in the east. The nominal subspecies is widely dispersed through the continent, while the southern subspecies is more abundant in the Iberian Peninsula and Balearic area (Ornosa & Ortiz-Sánchez 2004). It is not considered as threatened at the continental scale (Least Concern in the IUCN Red List of European Bees, Rasmont et al. 2015).
