Bumblebees

Bumblebees are big and fuzzy social insects in the genus Bombus, and they are in the similar family as honeybees, Apidae.

They are colony nesters with underground nests. The conventional colony consists of a queen with workers and drones. Most colonies are small, reducing the possibility of swarming performance harmful to humans, unless the colony is directly aggitated.

Bumblebee species are first and foremost differentiated by color. Similar to honeybees, a bumblees' life also consists of the day to day work of pollinating flowers. For this reason, gardeners and farmers think them beneficial insects.

Unlike honeybees, bumblebees do not construct up large provisions of honey in their nests.
