Great Yellow bumblebees: On the Verge Report

The Great Yellow bumblebee (Bombus distinguendus) is a rare species found only in the far north and western parts of the UK. It is vulnerable to habitat loss and fragmentation, which leads to isolated populations becoming unviable.

Road verge habitats in Caithness could be important connecting habitats for this rare bumblebee. Find out more in this development survey report.
