Bombus consobrinus is a typical taiga species. According to Løken (1973), its range is entirely included in that of the plant genus Aconitum, i. e. , in Fennoscandia, between the 59th and the 69th parallels. In Russia, the species extends more southwards : to the 51st parallel in the region of Saratov (Efremova, 1991) (fig. 42). In Asia, the species is found throughout Siberia, to the Kamchatka, in Mongolia, in the Gan Su Province (China), in Manchuria, Korea and Japan.
