Interessante Fakten

Bumble bees don't 'dance' to tell others about food; instead, they communicate using scents and touch!

Only the queen bumble bee lives through winter, waking up to start an entire new colony all alone!

Their small nests only hold enough honey for a few days, so they don't make much honey for people!

Unlike honeybees, these bees can sting more than once because their stinger is smooth, not barbed!
