A bumblebee is a type of bee characterized by its large, fuzzy body, black and yellow coloration, and distinctive buzzing sound. It is known for its important role as a pollinator, helping to fertilize flowers and contribute to the growth of various plants. Bumblebees are social insects that live in colonies, with a queen leading the group and worker bees carrying out tasks such as foraging for nectar and building nests. They play a vital role in maintaining biodiversity and ecosystem balance.
