Hún sækir hunang bæði í djúp blóm og flöt blóm. Býr sér stundum til bú neðanjarðar en velur sér samt að hafa bú sitt ofanjarðar inn í þéttum gróðri en velur sér einnig gömul fuglahreiður. Its preferred habitat is very wide-ranging, including fields, parks, scrubland, and sparse forest. She build nests above ground, and especially in the UK, are known to utilize bird nests or abandoned rodent nests for their own nesting sites. Bombus pratorum queens use aggressive behavior rather than pheromones to maintain dominance over the workers. The queen is black with a yellow collar (the band around the front of the thorax), another yellow band on the first tergite (abdominal segment), and red colouration on the tail. The workers are similar to the queen, but often with less yellow colouration; usually the abdominal, yellow band is more or less missing.

Bombus pratorum is a small bumblebee with a wide distribution in most of Europe and parts of Asia. It is very commonly found in the UK and emerges to begin its colony cycle as soon as February which is earlier than most other species, hence its common name.There is even some evidence that the early bumblebee may be able to go through two colony cycles in a year.
