Description: General information, key to the state's species, photos, and reference list.
bumble bees of Florida, Bombus spp. common name: bumble bees (of Florida) spp. (Insecta: Hymenoptera: Apidae) Most bumble bees are large, social bees which produce annual colonies. Mated queens overwinter in the soil and emerge from hibernation in early spring when they feed on spring flowers and search for a suitable location, such as a former rodent burrow in the soil, to begin their colonies. These are beneficial insects that pollinate many native and ornamental plants. They can sting severely, so problem nests near human dwellings should be removed by experienced pest control operators.
