Benefits of
Bumblebees
Bumblebees are common native bees and important
pollinators in most areas of North America. They are important
pollinators for many wildflowers. There are 49 species of bumblebees in
the United States. They bite holes in the flowers near the nectaries and
extract the nectar through the hole instead of visiting the flowers
“legitimately”. Another reason bumble bees are important pollinators is
their behavior of buzzing, or sonicating, flowers that require this
behavior for pollination.
