🇺🇸: Bombus pascuorum is a common carder bee in the Apidae family. It’s a social, nest-building bumblebee with one annual generation and flies in Germany from around March/April until October, sometimes even into November. Workers of this bumblebee are approximately 9 to 15 mm long, males about 12 to 14 mm, and queens about 15 to 18 mm. The colony size usually ranges from 60 to 150 individuals. It is widespread across Europe, from the Atlantic coasts to the Ural Mountains, and from northern Scandinavia down to the Mediterranean regions. It inhabits meadows, gardens, parks, woodland edges, fallow land, and even urban areas. Nests can be found both above and below ground, often in abandoned small mammal nests, moss or leaf piles, compost heaps, bird nest boxes, or sheds. The species is polylectic, collecting nectar and pollen from a wide variety of plants, and is considered common and not threatened.

Sie ist in Europa weit verbreitet, von den Atlantikküsten bis zum Ural und von Nordeuropa bis in den Mittelmeerraum. Lebensräume sind Wiesen, Gärten, Parks, Waldränder, Brachflächen und auch städtische Gebiete. Nester werden sowohl ober- als auch unterirdisch angelegt, z. B. in verlassenen Mäusenestern, Moos- und Laubhaufen, Komposthaufen, Nistkästen oder Schuppen. Die Art ist polylektisch, sammelt also an vielen verschiedenen Blüten, und gilt als häufig und ungefährdet.
