Do you know about bumblebees? They're some of the busiest and most important insects in our gardens. A bumblebee is a type of bee that's a bit bigger and fuzzier than other bees. They're called "bumblebees" because they make a buzzing sound, like "bumble-bumble," when they fly.

Bumblebees have soft, fuzzy bodies that are really good at holding onto pollen. They're like tiny pollen collectors with built-in brushes. Bumblebees are very busy. They fly from flower to flower collecting nectar and pollen. The pollen sticks to their fuzzy bodies and helps plants make new flowers and food.

When bumblebees visit flowers, they help with a job called "pollination." This is how plants make seeds to grow into new plants. Without bumblebees, we wouldn't have many fruits, vegetables, and flowers!

Bumblebees come in different colors, like yellow, black, and sometimes even red. They're easy to spot in the garden because of their bright colors and the way they buzz around.

Unlike honeybees, bumblebees don't usually make honey for us to eat. They do make a small amount for their own family, but they're more focused on helping flowers grow.

If you see a bumblebee, it's important to be kind and gentle. They might sting if they feel threatened, but they usually only want to collect pollen and help flowers grow. Well, let's learn how to draw a bumblebee!
