Maine’s Bumble Bee Atlas trained Citizen Scientist volunteers to collect samples of Bumble Bees throughout the state. The volunteers collecting between 2015-2017 looked for seventeen species of Bumbles known to have been in Maine.
Bumble Bee species frequently have various abdominal color bands/markings, and other features must be examined to identify them. Some pictures do not include enough detail to make an identification. The pictures here have been chosen without regard to bee gender or color variations.
