They’re small mostly due to relying solely on the queen for food when developing.
They’re not a ‘type of bee” but smaller individuals of their species.
They only live as adults for a short time.
They help ensure that subsequent broods develop and are larger in size.

So big up to these pint-sized #bumblebees. Short-lived and small but mighty! And oh so vital. Please pass this on. #repost / #share for #bees! Knowledge is power. But true power is caring. Or should be. Thank you folks. Together we impact for good. 🙏🏼🐝 #nature #environment #biodiveristy #science #education #pollinators #worldbeesanctuary #wildlife #earth #knowledge #democracy #impact #good 9/9
