There are no bumblebees on mainland Australia, but they have been introduced to the island state of Tasmania. This occurred in 1992, when one species (Bombus terrestris) was accidentally introduced.
Australia has around 1500 species of native bees. In addition, many species of honeybee have been introduced to the country.
Two of Australia's native bees are sometimes mistaken for bumblebees. These are the giant yellow and black carpenter bee (Xylocopa) of Queensland and northern NSW and the golden-brown furry teddy bear bee (Amegilla). But as of 2013, there are no bumblebees on the Australian mainland.
