How the species are doing
Distribution of the species over the categories of the European Red List of Bees (2026). Not assessed means: no European assessment in the source, often because the species only occurs at the edge of Europe.
- EN Endangered: 2
- VU Vulnerable: 3
- NT Near threatened: 1
- LC Least concern: 68
- DD Data deficient: 8
- NA Not applicable (not native or vagrant): 22
- - Not assessed: 6
Scale, from severe to not threatened: CR critically endangered, EN endangered, VU vulnerable, NT near threatened, LC least concern. DD: data deficient.
