The humble bumble bee
The bumblebee would be working to gather pollen for the queen bee of the hive. The bumblebees work as a team, and they work together to keep their colony in order. The queen bee locates their nests in thick grass, bird houses, lofts and in trees. The nesting of bumblebees soon transfers into a pollen basket. When the bumblebee builds their nest high above ground it means that a great amount of snow is to come for the winter. A bumblebee nest built lower to ground means the winter will have a less amount of snow for the season. Last year it was noticed the hives of the bumblebee were built close to ground, and for the winter the amount of snow was less. A nest of bumblebees may contain up to four hundred bees, where a nest of honeybees contains up to fifty-thousand bees. Out of all the types of insects the bumblebee is one of the few insects that can control its own body temperature.
