10 Fun Facts About Bumblebees

did you know that…

Bumblebees are super fuzzy! Their fuzzy bodies help them stay warm and carry pollen from flower to flower.
They love to buzz! Bumblebees make a buzzing sound by flapping their wings really fast—about 200 times per second!
They are friendly bees! Unlike some other bees, bumblebees are not aggressive and usually only sting if they feel scared.
Bumblebees can fly in the rain! Their wings are strong enough to keep flying, even when they get a little wet.
They do the “bumblebee shake”! Bumblebees vibrate their bodies to shake pollen loose from flowers—this is called “buzz pollination.”
They have tiny tongues! Bumblebees use their long, straw-like tongues to sip sweet nectar from flowers.
Bumblebees work as a team! They live in small colonies with a queen, worker bees, and drones, all working together.
They sleep inside flowers! Sometimes bumblebees take little naps inside flowers while gathering nectar.
They don’t make honey like honeybees! Bumblebees store just enough nectar to feed their colony, but they don’t make big honeycombs.
Bumblebees are amazing pollinators! They help plants grow by spreading pollen, which helps make fruits, vegetables, and flowers bloom!
