Abstract
In a comprehensive paper on the bumblebees of Central Europe, Friese and Wagner (1910, p. 69) make the following statement: "Insbesondere lasst die Kenntniss der Nester noch allzuviel zu wunschen ubrig, was um so empfindlicher ins Gewicht fallt, als gerade von dieser Seite her die vielleicht wertvollsten Aufschlusse zu erwarten stehen, weil allen Folgerungen, die lediglich auf einem durch Fang der frei fliegenden Tiere gewonnenen Materiale basieren, notwendigerweise eine gewisse Unsicherheit anhaften muss." The truth of this statement has been amply proved by the work of Drewsen and Schiodte (1838), Smith (1876), Schmiedeknecht (1878), Hoffer (1881, 1882/83, 1885, 1888), Coville (1890), Sladen (1899, 1912, 1915), and Frison (1916, 1917, 1918, 1921).
