Bumblebees of the Subarctic Region in European Russia—Their Significance and Conservation
Regarding the bumblebee fauna, a number of regions of Russia are still insufficiently studied. These include Arkhangelsk Region, a large territory that is partly located in the subarctic region of Northern European Russia. In this research, we present information on the distribution of bumblebees of...

One species, B. consobrinus , is considered as a rare species in the regional fauna. It is represented quite locally in most districts of Arkhangelsk Region. In the north of Arkhangelsk Region, B. consobrinus is most abundant in the native taiga habitats, but is rare in the other areas of the studied region. B. consobrinus in Arkhangelsk Region prefers the meadows near coniferous forests, where its main food plant, Aconitum septentrionale , is concentrated.

Regarding the bumblebee fauna, a number of regions of Russia are still insufficiently studied.

The regional fauna of bumblebees is represented by species that are widely distributed in the Palaearctic.
