Extra! Extra! | Bumble Bee In case you are wondering, Bumble Bee can also be written Bumblebee. Bumble bees are very social. They live in colonies, have different divisions of labor and have overlapping generations. Bumble bees are also excellent pollinators of many crops. They are able to fly in cooler temperatures and lower light levels. Thus, they can begin their work earlier in the spring and carry on later in the fall. They can also “buzz pollinate” where they use their wings to vibrate loose more pollen.
The Back Story Had to capture a burst of clicks in order to get a no movement image at 1/100s. Note: I post an image everyday at hankconrad.com.
