bumblebee, rare species, European North, preferential habitat, forage plantsAbstract
We studied the distribution and ecology of Bombus distinguendus in Arkhangelsk Oblast, Russia. Today, this species is declining in Europe, including several regions where it has fallen to a critically low level or has become extinct. It is established that B. distinguendus is distributed over most of the territory of Arkhangelsk Oblast. This species has been recorded in various types of habitats, mainly on grassland. Its abundance is low throughout the territory. B. distinguendus feeds on a wide range of flowering plants. Phenologically, it belongs to the species of bumblebees with late development. The populations of B. distinguendus in Arkhangelsk Oblast are stable; it is recommended, however, to conduct regional monitoring of B. distinguendus.
