The Buzz About Bumble Bees
Bumble bees are a type of flying insect that are commonly found in gardens, fields, and meadows. They are known for their round, fuzzy bodies, black and yellow stripes, and the buzzing sound they make as they fly from flower to flower collecting nectar.
But did you know that bumble bees are also important pollinators? They play a crucial role in helping plants reproduce by spreading pollen from one flower to another. Without bees, many of our crops and flowers would not be able to grow.
