ADUR BUMBLEBEES CHECKLIST

Apart from the common seven species in bold print on a green background, the rest of the bumblebees on the British list are uncommon, even on the edge of extinction (red background) or northern species (mauve background). The species with a grey background is widespread in Britain but under-recorded because of ID problems. The others are local or rare.
