bumblebees

Bumblebees are large, furry bees known for their robust bodies and loud buzzing. They are vital pollinators, transferring pollen between flowers to help plants produce fruits and seeds. Unlike honeybees, bumblebees live in smaller colonies and do not produce honey for human consumption. They are social insects with a queen, workers, and males, typically active during the warmer months. Their fuzzy bodies help collect pollen, which they carry on their hind legs. Bumblebees are important for maintaining healthy ecosystems and supporting agriculture through effective pollination.
