In my office I have a wonderful poster of common bees in dutch gardens, with excellent illustrations by Jeroen de Rond, distributed by Naturalis and EIS for free (link). Unfortunately, the poster has only dutch bee names, though I am more familiar with the scientific names. Also, my English- and German-speaking colleagues would love to know the names in their language! Hence, I put myself to the task to make a translation, resulting in this table, that you can put next to the poster to have all the different names. The common names are retrieved from "Field Guide to the Bees of Great Britain and Ireland" by Falk (2015) and "Taschenlexikon der Wildbienen Mitteleuropas" by Scheuchl & Willner (2016).
Extending to this, EIS provides a low quality A4 pdf of this poster (link). I thought it would be nice to add the scientific names to the Dutch version, so people can learn them. And, fortunately, it was a small effort to replace the dutch names for English or German names. So here is the result (with credit to EIS and Naturalis as original producers of this Poster):
Bees of Gardens - Dutch
Bees of Gardens - English
Bees of Gardens - German
Enjoy!
