The flowering period of flowers is over, in the morning it's getting cool. On flowers it is rarely possible to see an insect. Many of them prepared for hibernation. But, this toiler works until his last breath.

Look at the wings of this bumblebee. They are already very worn out, but, he continues to do departures for nectar. I made a reservation, it's not him, it's her, female bumblebee.

Bumblebees spend winter in burrows. They rarely dig their holes themselves. They crawl with the holes that the rodents have dug up, or other animals, they will spend the winter there. The stocks of food should be enough for them until the spring. Underground holes retain heat and do not allow the nest to freeze. Some types of bumblebee build nests above the ground, in armfuls of leafy leaves, in corton boxes, in old, abandoned hives, in bird nests.

In the family of bumblebee - matriarchy. Uterine bumblebee is very large. Other females are engaged in labor, only they are able to sting, and, many times in a row. They are excellent defenders of their family. Males, like bee drones, are only engaged in courtship for the uterus. They have a narrow specialization - fertilization.

I once thought that bumblebees only eat nectar, and they do not make honey. It's a mistake, they make honey, but it's less quality than bee honey. It is more liquid.

So, it's winter soon, which means that spring will soon be around and everything will be buzzing around us!
