Bumble Bees

Bumble bees are commonly seen, but they are not all easy to identify. Most of the UK’s 25 species are social bees, but 6 species are cuckoo bees and these do not make their own nests, but lay their eggs in the nest of their host bee which they often resemble. In the Wyre are we have at least 8 species of social bee and 5 cuckoo bees.
