They often nest underground in abandoned rodent burrows, compost heaps, or grassy areas. Sometimes they build nests in wall cavities or under sheds.
Bumblebees are generally gentle and non-aggressive. They sting only when handled roughly or when their nest is directly threatened. Unlike honey bees, they can sting multiple times.
Bumblebees are large, fuzzy insects with black and yellow stripes and rounded bodies. Their size ranges from 10 to 23 mm, depending on the species.
They feed on nectar and pollen, helping to pollinate flowers, fruits, and vegetables. Bumblebees are especially active in cooler climates and early spring when other bees are less active
Keep outdoor areas clean and seal small holes or gaps around the foundation to prevent nest formation. Avoid leaving sugary drinks or food uncovered outdoors
Bumblebees live in small colonies, usually with a single queen and a few hundred workers. They are social but less organized than honey bees, and they typically abandon their nests by the end of summer.
Queens emerge from hibernation in spring to establish new nests. They lay eggs that develop into workers, drones, and future queens, ensuring the next generation of colonies.
