Feldbestimmungsschlüssel für die Hummeln Deutschlands, Österreichs und der Schweiz

Bumblebees are true favorites, as they can be seen harmlessly buzzing from flower to flower. This field identification key, now in its third edition, allows for the identification of living individuals of the genus Bombus, whose main characteristic is the coloration of their hair. Morphological features that are used as distinguishing characteristics to differentiate similarly colored species can be recognized with a bit of practice using a magnifying glass. The identification key, which distinguishes between workers, queens, and drones, is aimed not only at biologists but also at anyone interested in getting to know and accurately identifying these fascinating insects.
