Summary edit

Description

A parasite of other bumblebeeds, B. citrinus, is the most common parasitic species in the East, but, as a parasite this still means it is very uncommon. The tale is simple, this species invades a nest, eliminates queen, and makes workers raise its own young. 11:21, 25 December 2018 (UTC)11:21, 25 December 2018 (UTC){{{{{{0}}}}}}11:21, 25 December 2018 (UTC)11:21, 25 December 2018 (UTC)
