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: 24
- VU Vulnerable: 5
- NT Near threatened: 23
- LC Least concern: 123
- DD Data deficient: 23
- NA Not applicable (not native or vagrant): 21
- - Not assessed: 16
Scale, from severe to not threatened: CR critically endangered, EN endangered, VU vulnerable, NT near threatened, LC least concern. DD: data deficient.
When the visitors fly
Number of species flying per month, according to the flight calendar from open records in Europe. A species counts in every month it flies.
