Hymenoptera 61 – Grauweiße Hummeln (Off-white
Bumblebees)
OFF-WHITE
BUMBLEBEE Bombus mucidus
·
Grauweiße Hummel is a
vernacular name locally applied to the bumblebee Bombus mucidus illustrated above although as the
name is German in origin this might indicate its usage in the Swiss Alps rather
than the French Pyrénées where this photograph
was taken at high altitude. Google translates this to “Off-white
Bumblebee” as used here for convenience, but perhaps “Grey-white”
might be a more literal interpretation. It is not known if this rather
uncommon and localised bee has a French vernacular name.
