Bumblebees are large, fuzzy insects belonging to the family Apidae. They are known for their distinctive black and yellow stripes and play a crucial role in pollination. Bumblebees are social creatures, living in colonies that can range from 50 to several hundred individuals. They are particularly effective at pollinating flowers due to their ability to vibrate their bodies, a process known as buzz pollination. These insects are found in various habitats, including gardens, meadows, and forests. Bumblebees are important for the ecosystem as they help plants reproduce by transferring pollen. Their populations are currently declining due to factors like habitat loss, pesticides, and climate change, raising concerns about their future.
