The Bumblebee (Bombus terrestris being a common species), a crucial insect from the Apidae family, thrives in temperate regions across the globe. These fuzzy, beneficial creatures typically nest in underground burrows, grassy areas, or abandoned rodent holes. You'll often spot them buzzing through vibrant gardens and flowering meadows. Bumblebees are vital pollinators their hairy bodies efficiently collect pollen, and unlike honeybees, they can fly effectively in cooler temperatures. They also employ a unique technique called "buzz pollination" (vibrating flowers) to release more pollen.
