One of the UK s rarest bumblebees has been discovered by conservationists in Caithness. The Great Yellow bumblebee, previously only found in four other areas, was spotted 10 miles south of John O’Groats in an area of thick heathland. The Bumblebee Conservation Trust discovered a nest of the bees while carrying out surveys in the north of Scotland, supported by a £31,000 grant from the ScottishPower foundation. The project aims to establish the population and location of the Great Yellow bumblebee to help advise landowners on how to restore and recreate habitat to boost numbers of the endangered species. The bees are now known to exist in five population centres: Caithness, North West Sutherland, Orkney, the Inner Hebrides and the Outer Hebrides.
