How bumblebees bathe in pollen

Usually, bees fly back and forth, they load nectar on their legs, and carry them to the hive. But bumblebees are completely different, they see a flower - a splash in it, already dust from pollen is standing by a pillar! It is bathed as if in a bath and immediately dives into another.

Creates on his body such a mix of different varieties of pollen. Prettier.

Well, I got excited, of course, they fly and swim, not for fun, but only by the will of the wife who sent them, well, you need to get food.

And the wives of diversity are asking, they say, you go to the "Absolute" and to the "Titan", and even to the "Nikolaev"! Look where it’s cheaper, but better!

Well, while a bumblebee flies about its bumblebee affairs, it does another important thing for society, it pollinates plants. Pollen from one is transferred to other flowers.

Bumblebees are not aggressive, it seems, of course, that he will sting harder than a bee, but I do not remember if they bit me.

But their sting is reusable, without chipping at all. The reader will not remain in the body, but he will be able to log in again.

In the sense that we understand, they don’t make honey, they only take it for children to eat.

They live in minks underground. Are you surprised? Yes, I always imagined hives. Although there are birds and small rodents in abandoned nests, and their houses are called bombidaria, that's how.

For some reason, they love these flowers in the country, sit on others, of course, peck something there, but they fly more on them. It can be seen honey smeared there)) Although it is more likely that their season.

Although in the evening and others have chosen. It seems to call marigold.

The oldest bumblebee is 38 million years old, although they say there are even more ancient ones, they are simply poorly preserved.

There are a lot of them, I watched one, that one, until it climbed into 27 flowers, did not fly away. This is only how much I counted, and he grazes not only on our site.

And bumblebees are the most cold-resistant. They themselves warm up to +40, so they can fly to the collection early and arrive later. So they are hard workers, not just swimming!
