Bumble Bee [[BMW]]


What they look like
The bumble bees scientific name is apidea. Bumble bees are are really hairy. They carry pollen on their hairy legs, from flower to flower they carry the pollen. They aren't really friendly and they do sting. They can sting as many times as they want unlike a honeybee, who stings, but dies the first time they use their stinger. Only if bumble bees are annoyed or provoked they will harm you, with a sting.
Bumble bees are pretty big bees, bigger than than most bees are. They are really hairy, as i said before, and are stripped with yellow and black on their second segment, also known as the abdomen. The way you can tell the difference between which bees are which, bumble bees
have
more hair than others. Unlike the Carpenter bees who barely have any hair and are really shiny.

About bumble bees and adaptions
Bumble bees are three segments. Here are some of the
body parts. The first segment is known as the head, it has the attena and the eyes on it. The second part is known as the thorax and has the wings and legs. The third part is called the abdomen it has the reproductive organs and the stinger.
During the summer and spring bumble bees collect pollen and turn it into honey. They pollinate many crops, one of them being strawberries. Most people think that they eat the honey for food but they usually eat nectar and sometimes, but rarely eat the honey.
