Nature Walk: Bumblebees
By Kerri on August 31, 2015 in Blog
Bumblebees probably aren’t given enough credit for the pollination services they perform. They’re a life-sustainer for a host of native flowers and some agricultural crops, like red clover, a hay crop. Here we see one preparing to enter a bottle gentian flower, which they have to physically open to get inside to collect the nectar, and on a tall thistle.
