Sign in to save

Pyrobombus (known as fiery-tailed bees) is a subgenus of bumblebees, with centres of diversity in Central Asia and North America. Nearly a fifth of all Bombus species fall within Pyrobombus. Pyrobombus bees face issues such as climate change, habitat loss, urbanization, and industrial agriculture. They can be used for beekeeping as they are pollinators, and can be used for wax, honey, venom, and combs.
