Bumblebee Bombus Terrestris - Buff-tailed Bumblebee on Thistle, Ireland

Written by Darren McLoughlin

Bumblebee Bombus terrestris or Buff-tailed bumblebee on thistle, Ireland.

The thistle Cirsium vulgare may be the national flower of Scotland, but they do also grow well in Ireland and Irish bumblebees such as this buff-tailed bumblebee Bombus terrestris enjoy the purple flowers in late summer.
