| | Bumblebee - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Because bumblebees do not overwinter the entire colony, they are not obliged to stockpile honey, and are therefore not useful as honey producers, although the honey is delicious. | | | The bumblebee, or more commonly bumble bee, is a flying insect of the genus Bombus in the family Apidae. | | | The agricultural use of bumblebees is limited to pollination. |

| | Like honey bees, bumblebees are social insects, although only the new queens can survive the winter by hibernating. | | | Unlike honey bees European bumblebees rarely sting, although workers and queens do have a sting. | | | Bumblebees are large, hairy insects with a lazy buzz and clumsy, bumbling flight. |

| | The bumblebee is frequently mistaken for the honey bee | | | Bumblebees are also wrongly thought by some to be aggressive, usually because they are confused with wasps and honey bees. | | | Intensive agriculture and a decrease in the number of insect-pollinated crops have led to a drastic decline in bumblebee numbers over the past 70 years, they said. |

| | Bumble Bee Facts |
| | Bumblebee populations vary from year to year, depending on environmental factors; but one typical nest collected in Wisconsin contained one queen, 515 adult workers, 117 worker and 119 queen pupae, 101 larvae, 308 eggs contained in 18 cells on cylinders of pollen, and 709 empty worker cells filled with honey. | | | Bumblebees are superior to other bees in pollinating red clover, since they have a tongue that is 2.5 mm (0.1 in) longer than that of honeybees. | | | Bumblebees (Bombidae) leave their nest in the autumn, and the fertilized queens hibernate in some protected place during the winter. |

| | The Bumblebee Body |
| | The bumblebee breathes through spiracles, these are simply paired holes down the side of its body, the air is drawn in as the insect moves. | | | The bumblebee's body has many adaptations to enable her to gather nectar and pollen more efficiently from flowers, to operate in temperatures that stop other pollinators working, and to defend herself and her nestmates. | | | Bumblebees would die without flowers and many flowers would be unable to breed without bumblebees. |

| | However, due to the feeding habits of the bumblebee goby there is a chance that they will not manage to catch enough food if their tankmates are "aggressive feeders" - i.e. | | | As strongly suggested, its coloration is one of black and yellow vertical stripes, and it has a temperament very similar to your average bumblebee too. | | | They are excellent hunters of small foods like bloodworms or Artemia, but are fairly easy to train onto frozen foods with the right conditions. |

| | The Wisconsin Bumblebee: Management |
| | The basic ingredients for a successful bumblebee colony are: a healthy, broody queen bumblebee which has been inseminated; a subable nesting container (historically, an old mouse nest); and sufficent quanities of nectar; and fresh pollen. | | | Unfortunately, the commerical growers are rearing bees for the profit and thus consider their skills "trade secrets." It is because of this attitude that bumblebee pollination services will continue to be an under utilized and the honeybee industry and associations will continue even when bombus pollinators would be more efficent and overall more cost effective. | | | There have been various methods devised to induce bumblebee queens to found colonies either in captivity or in prepared domiciles in the field. |
