Bumblebees do not store food over the winter, a la honeybees, and only the fertilized queen survives until spring because she is better nourished than the workers. There are 46 species of bumblebees (family <em>Apidae<\/em>) north of the Rio Grande, and they emerge at different times of the spring and early summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"aligncenter uwm-c-img--center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/field-station\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/380\/2018\/05\/bumblebee14-5-e.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1145\" height=\"1145\" src=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/field-station\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/380\/2018\/05\/bumblebee14-5-e.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9405\" srcset=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/field-station\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/380\/2018\/05\/bumblebee14-5-e.jpg 1145w, https:\/\/uwm.edu\/field-station\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/380\/2018\/05\/bumblebee14-5-e-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/uwm.edu\/field-station\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/380\/2018\/05\/bumblebee14-5-e-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/uwm.edu\/field-station\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/380\/2018\/05\/bumblebee14-5-e-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/uwm.edu\/field-station\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/380\/2018\/05\/bumblebee14-5-e-1024x1024.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1145px) 100vw, 1145px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Their bodies are plump, and their wings are too small for their bulk (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.livescience.com\/33075-how-bees-fly.html\">bumblebee flight was long thought to be mathematically impossible<\/a>), and they are clumsy fliers.

In the dandy <em>Field Guide to Insects of North America<\/em>, Eaton and Kaufman refer to bumblebees as an essentially \u201cwarm-blooded bee.\u201d This housing crunch also causes the queen to camouflage her nest by piling dried vegetation outside its entrance when she leaves. Even so, an interloper queen may discover a nest site and evict a resident queen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After the queen locates a cavity \u2013 underground in a deserted rodent burrow or in the walls of an old building or even in outdoor furniture &#8211; she makes a nest of moss and grass, and lays eggs (400 to 1,000) in a disorganized array of wax cells. She sits on them for four or five days to keep them warm (maternal solicitude is uncommon in invertebrates). When the larvae hatch, they feed on a mixture of pollen and nectar. Some species provide a cache of pollen for the larvae to nibble on, and others regurgitate nectar and pollen into individual larval cells. Four to five weeks after the eggs were laid, the newly-minted adults (sterile female workers) emerge from their cocoons to gather pollen and nectar and care for the queen and her future broods. Fertile males and females are produced in late summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"aligncenter uwm-c-img--center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/field-station\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/380\/2018\/05\/bumblebee17-10rz-e.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/field-station\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/380\/2018\/05\/bumblebee17-10rz-e.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9410\" srcset=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/field-station\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/380\/2018\/05\/bumblebee17-10rz-e.jpg 750w, https:\/\/uwm.edu\/field-station\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/380\/2018\/05\/bumblebee17-10rz-e-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/uwm.edu\/field-station\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/380\/2018\/05\/bumblebee17-10rz-e-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kaufman and Eaton say that bumblebees \u201cbuzz pollinate\u201d some blossoms \u2013 they set up a vibration that causes pollen to be rain down on them. Though they feed protein-rich pollen to their offspring, adult bumblebees mainly eat high-energy nectar, collected from a variety of flowers (they are generalist feeders). Different species of bumblebees have tongues of different lengths, and this governs their flower choices. They\u2019re also \u201cmuscly\u201d pollinators, able to force their way into flowers that other bees can\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"aligncenter uwm-c-img--center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/field-station\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/380\/2018\/05\/bumblebee15-6-e.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1562\" height=\"1116\" src=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/field-station\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/380\/2018\/05\/bumblebee15-6-e.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9407\" srcset=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/field-station\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/380\/2018\/05\/bumblebee15-6-e.jpg 1562w, https:\/\/uwm.edu\/field-station\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/380\/2018\/05\/bumblebee15-6-e-300x214.jpg 300w, https:\/\/uwm.edu\/field-station\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/380\/2018\/05\/bumblebee15-6-e-768x549.jpg 768w, https:\/\/uwm.edu\/field-station\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/380\/2018\/05\/bumblebee15-6-e-1024x732.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1562px) 100vw, 1562px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[Quick aside &#8211; The BugLady gave a program about native orchids a few years ago.
