Bumble Bees

Bumble bees are robust, fuzzy bees known for their large size and distinctive black and yellow coloration. They are important pollinators found in a variety of habitats, including gardens, meadows, and urban areas. Bumble bees typically nest underground or in cavities such as abandoned rodent burrows or compost piles. While they are not aggressive and rarely sting unless provoked, bumble bee colonies may become defensive if disturbed. Bumble bee stings are generally mild but can cause localized pain, swelling, and redness.
