Do bumble bees sting themselves?
Much like honeybees and even wasps, bumblebees won't hesitate to defend themselves using their venomous sting, if they feel threatened.
How can you tell a bumble bee?
Bumble bees have stout, hairy, robust bodies – usually with black, yellow, and/or red coloration. Bumble bees are variable in size and color patterns, even within a single species, which can make identification challenging.
What is the difference between a bee and a bumble bee?
Bumblebees generally have thick bodies, dark wings and a lot of hair. Honey bees, on the other hand, are usually thinner, less hairy and have four total wings, with the front set being the largest.
Do you get honey from a bumblebee?
At this point, you might be wondering if bumble bees make honey. The answer is, no, but they do collect and store nectar. They build a kind of pot to hold the nectar they gather. This stored food enables new queens to stay in their nests and care for their first batch of young without going hungry.
