We present details and characteristics of 123 novel polymorphic microsatellite DNA loci for Bombus terrestris. Thirty-four of these loci have been tested in nine other Bombus species and 25 of them showed polymorphisms in at least one species. These microsatellite DNA loci together with the already established 60 loci will be useful for characterizing wild and managed populations of B. terrestris and other Bombus species as well as for detailed genetic studies in including mapping studies and genome annotations.
