Bumble Bees Are Highly Efficient Pollinators

 

Number two of the ten things that you probably don’t know about bumblebees is that they are native to the United States. They are also more efficient at pollinating flowers than honeybees. Having larger bodies allows them to carry much heavier loads of pollen. Even though they seem to fly much more slowly than their honeybee relatives, they can move more quickly from plant to plant and transfer greater loads of pollen to the flowers that they visit.
