Bumblebee
It has often been said that bumblebees defy aerodynamics and should not be able to fly but high-speed photography shows that bumblebees flap their wings back and forth rather than up and down.
Bumblebees are some of the most social creatures in the animal kingdom. A group of bumblebees is called a colony. Colonies can contain between 50 and 500 individuals.
They make honey by chewing the pollen and mixing it with their saliva.
There is a lot of discussion as to why the bee population is declining. Some scientists think that there may be a sickness killing off the bees. Others think pollution, global warming or lack of native flowers may be to blame.
Bumblebees don't die when they sting. This trait is found in honey bees.
