Bees/Wasps

Field Cuckoo Bumblebee (Bombus campestris)

Wikipedia:

🇬🇧 Cuckoo Bumblebees are parasitic bees that infiltrate the nests of other bumblebee species. Lacking worker bees, they rely on the host colony to raise their young. Found worldwide, they often mimic their hosts' appearance.

🇬🇷 Οι Bumblebees είναι παρασιτικές μέλισσες που διεισδύουν στις φωλιές άλλων ειδών μελισσών. Ελλείψει εργάτριων μελισσών, βασίζονται στην αποικία υποδοχής για να μεγαλώσουν τα μικρά τους. Βρίσκονται σε όλο τον κόσμο, συχνά μιμούνται την εμφάνιση των οικοδεσποτών τους
