description Bombus norvegicus Overview
Bombus norvegicus is a European cuckoo bumblebee in the genus Bombus. Unlike a colony-forming bumblebee queen, a female of this type enters an established nest and uses the host colony's workers to rear her offspring. It is associated with the tree bumblebee, Bombus hypnorum, so the species depends on the social biology and nest cycle of another bumblebee rather than founding an independent worker force.
