bumblebees - bumblebee

A bumblebee is a type of bee that's very social and busy. They fly around flowers collecting nectar.

When we talk about bumblebees, we often mention how important they are for plants because they help with pollination. Bumblebees visit many different flowers in a day, and as they move from one to the next, they transfer pollen between them. This process is vital for plants that rely on bees to reproduce. Without bumblebees, these plants wouldn't be able to make seeds and propagate. Some people even plant certain flowers just to attract bumblebees because of their crucial role in pollination.
