Usurpers

[eucera]

Please forgive me for straying here from the Insect forum but I am collating records nationally of the Tree Bee, Bombus hypnorum. If any of the Bird folk have these taking over the nest boxes set out for Blue/Great Tits, I'd love to hear about them.These bumblebees are very distinctive: Ginger thorax, black abdomen and white tail. There is nothing else like them in UK

All the usual details (who, when and where) can turn your observation into a record. Either reply here OR pm me. pm me your contact details if you would like an Information sheet



Thanks for your forbearance! ;-), Stuart
