Bumblebee Pollen

Check out this bumblebee from last August as it flies in toward a sunflower, pollen clinging everywhere and even falling away behind it, suggesting it may already be at capacity—fascinating little flying machines and hard workers they are.

Nesting habits

Bumblebees build relatively small nests, often between the size of a baseball and a softball, typically close to the ground or underground in places like abandoned mouse holes, grass clumps, stone walls, or hollow trees and stumps. (Source: The Old Farmer’s Almanac)
