The buff-tailed bumblebee is largest of the european bee species. It has a very soft looking coat of hairs that actually help it collect pollen. These hairs are usually colored red and yellow. Now, this bee has a rather larger tail than other bee’s. Which is why it gets the name, “Buff-tailed bumblebee.”
The important thing to notice about this bee is that it’s not mainly yellow. The yellow on a normal be would be replaced by a gold texture.
