Bumblebees are robust, hairy insects belonging to the genus Bombus, found across temperate and subarctic regions. Larger than honeybees, they are excellent pollinators of flowers, fruits and vegetables. Bumblebees live in small colonies and are generally docile. They play a crucial ecological role in gardens and wild spaces. Unlike honeybees, bumblebee colonies are seasonal and typically die off in winter, with only queens surviving to start new colonies.
