Bumblebees is our only native social bee (like most of our ancestors, honeybees came over on the boat). Their bodies are plump and their wings are small for their bulk, and so they are clumsy fliers. They have a fuzzy thorax and a hairy abdomen, and a yellow and black color scheme. Their antennae are short, and their mouths are shaped for biting as well as sucking./field-station/wp-content/uploads/sites/380/2017/02/bumble-bee-1.jpg
