Bumblebee (Bombus spp.)

Bumblebees (Bombus spp.) are large, fuzzy bees known for their strong flight and important role in pollination. They typically have black and yellow coloration, though patterns vary among species. Bumblebees are social insects, living in colonies that can include a queen, workers, and males. They prefer cooler, northern climates and are vital for pollinating a wide range of plants, including many crops. Unlike honeybees, bumblebees do not produce honey on a large scale but are highly efficient pollinators, often performing "buzz pollination," which helps release pollen from flowers.
