Notes on Bombidae, and on the Life History of Bombus Auricomus Robt.

Abstract

Up to the present, little work has been done on the lifehistory of our American Bombidæ. Mr. F. W. L. Sladen, in his admirable book, “The Humble-bee,” has given us, however, the principal facts in the life-history of the common English Bombidæ, besides many other observations of importance and interest.
