The Queen’s Duties

The life of a queen bumblebee.

There's a great deal to understanding bumblebees.

The Queen is the only bee to survive through Winter. Hibernating alone.

Male bumblebees have no stinger. Only the females.

Dies off when she has a successor. Another crowned Queen. The cycle repeats.

Until Tomorrow! Smile On!
