bumblebee

Striped garden visitor

A bumblebee is a large, fuzzy bee that flies with a distinctive loud buzz.

Bumblebees are rounder and hairier than honeybees, often with yellow and black stripes.

They live in small colonies and are important pollinators, visiting flowers in gardens and meadows.
