Bombus bohemicus is a species of cuckoo bumblebee. Its host is Bombus lucorum, killing or subduing its queen and taking over its nest. It is a fairly small bumblebee (the length of the queen is around 18 millimetres (0.71 in)) with a round face and a short proboscis (tongue). The male is quite smaller than the queen. The bumblebee has a pale yellow collar, often yellow hairs on the first abdominal segment), pale yellow sides on the third segment and a white tail on an otherwise almost black abdomen. This bee was photographed in a field near Tottenhoe Knolls on 14th July 2011.
