Bumblebee
Bumblebees (Bombus) are vital, fluffy pollinators buzzing through meadows and gardens. Their distinctive black and yellow bands and gentle nature make them essential for plant reproduction, supporting biodiversity. Their efficient pollination supports ecosystems and boosts crop yields, underscoring their critical role in environmental health.

Characteristics
Bombus, commonly known as bumblebees, are characterized by their robust bodies covered in soft hair, often marked with bands of black and yellow, although some species are orange or red. They are social insects, living in colonies, and are critical pollinators in both wild ecosystems and agriculture.
Distribution Range of the Bumblebee
Bombus, commonly known as bumblebees, are native to the Northern Hemisphere, particularly prevalent in North America, Europe, and parts of Asia. They are also found in some regions of South America, New Zealand, and Tasmania due to introductions.
Bumblebee's Habitat
Environmental Conditions
Bumblebees typically inhabit temperate and cold climates. They are found in a variety of habitats including woodlands, meadows, orchards, and gardens, where there is an abundance of flowering plants. They are well adapted to cooler climates and can be found at higher altitudes and latitudes than many other bees.
Ecological Niche
Bumblebees play a critical role as pollinators in ecosystems. They are generalist foragers, visiting a wide variety of flowers to collect nectar and pollen. This ability to forage in cooler and cloudier weather than other bees allows them to occupy ecological niches that other pollinators might not.
