Had a small discussion about the bumblebee in Facebook :mrgreen: Since I learnt a bit about them by translating those articles about the bumblebees last summer I looked this one up, and I think it is one of the most common here in Europe, Bombus terrestris - buff-tailed bumblebee or large earth bumblebee. Had a little exchange with Liis about them viewtopic.php?p=113079#p113079

Today we had also a few snow-flakes and only 5 C during day.
But in March we had a few days with more then 20 C.

They fitted him with a transmitter collar, I read, so they know when he will come to Germany so they can get out to shoot him! :rant:

Yes, it's going from winter (in the beginning of the week outside the city it was still around freezing point, they had to scratch car windows) to summer and 30° within 5 days! :faint:
