Hi, I’m a bumble bee, and I’m here to bee your fuzzy little friend!
You can spot me buzzing around with my chubby body and fuzzy stripes, pollinating flowers and helping your garden grow. Unlike my honeybee cousins, I don’t make as much honey, but I still do bee-autiful work by spreading pollen from flower to flower. Without me, plants would have a hard time growing, and your garden might not look so bee-utiful.
I love flowers, especially ones with lots of nectar, like clover and wildflowers. When I visit them, I give them a little bumble hug that helps them thrive. But I don’t like pesticides or habitat loss—those things really give me the buzz-kill.
The best thing you can do? Plant more flowers and give me a safe place to bumble around. The worst? Spraying chemicals that harm me and my buzzing buddies.
So, let me keep buzzing through your garden, spreading sweetness and joy. Thanks for letting me bee me!
