What do Bumblebees do ?
The Friendly Fuzzy Bee
Bumblebees pollinate - much more efficiently than honeybees.
They forage for pollen rather than nectar, and transfer more pollen to the flowers than the Honeybees.
Bumblebees make honey but not enough for humans to harvest.
Just enough to feed the Bees during cold weather.
The whole hive dies off in Autumn(fall) except for the Queen
A hive consists of no more than one Queen and 300 workers.
