Bombus transversalis has adapted to tropical climates and builds its nests on ground surface. It is classified under the subgenus Thoracobombus. [5] An example of a related species would be Bombus pauloensis. [6] However, Bombus transversalis is the only one of this subgenus known to build their own nests out of leaves and twigs. [4]
Bombus pascuorum, the common carder bee, is a species of bumblebee present in most of Europe in a wide variety of habitats such as meadows, pastures, waste ground, ditches and embankments, roads, and field margins, as well as gardens and parks in urban areas and forests and forest edges.
Unlike the nests of honeybees or paper wasps, the nests of B. impatiens do not have a predictable pattern. The bees lay egg clumps all over inside the nest instead of having one brood area around which the workers' distribution center is arranged. [11] Within the nest there is a special division of labor and social organization. [12] 11–13% ...

A bumblebee (or bumble bee, bumble-bee, or humble-bee) is any of over 250 species in the genus Bombus, part of Apidae, one of the bee families. This genus is the only extant group in the tribe Bombini , though a few extinct related genera (e.g., Calyptapis ) are known from fossils .
Bombus terrestris, the buff-tailed bumblebee or large earth bumblebee, is one of the most numerous bumblebee species in Europe.It is one of the main species used in greenhouse pollination, and so can be found in many countries and areas where it is not native, such as Tasmania. [2]
The species builds its nests on or just under the ground in open grassland and forages very close to the nest. In recent years, populations have significantly declined due to loss of natural habitat. B. muscorum is currently listed as vulnerable in Europe by the European Red List of Bees. [4]
