About Bumble Bees:

Bumble bees are among the most important pollinators in the world, visiting flowers to collect nectar and pollen while helping plants reproduce! Unlike honey bees, bumble bees are larger, fuzzier, and can fly in cooler temperatures and lower light conditions, making them essential pollinators in northern climates and early spring. Their fuzzy bodies trap pollen efficiently as they buzz from flower to flower. Bumble bees are social insects that live in small colonies of 50-400 bees, much smaller than honey bee hives which can have 50,000+ bees. They're gentle creatures that rarely sting unless their nest is threatened. Bumble bees perform "buzz pollination" by vibrating their flight muscles at high frequencies to shake pollen loose from flowers—a technique that makes them especially important for tomatoes, blueberries, cranberries, and many other crops! Queen bumble bees are the only ones that survive winter, emerging in spring to start new colonies. Sadly, many bumble bee species are declining due to habitat loss, pesticides, and climate change. Planting native wildflowers helps support these crucial pollinators!
