2/17 #Bumblebees are excellent pollinators for many fruits and vegetables.

Unlike honey bees, bumblebees do not have a permanent colony. In autumn, each colony dies and only the young, mated queens hibernate, ready for spring when they start a new nest.
3/17 When the young queen emerges, she must rapidly establish a new nest. The failure rate of colonies is very high during early development, so having a succession of suitable flowers available is CRUCIAL.
