Bumble Bees, like other bees has a long brush-like tongue with which it laps up nectar and stores this in a special organ. capillary action plays an important part in obtaining the nectar. Some bumble bees, called 'robber bees' actually chew through the base of the flower petal to get at the nectar without fertilizing the flower! Common on the flowers of runner beans, and broad beans. Naughty!
They also collect pollen, which is a source of protein, and carry this back to the nest, where it is stored until it is needed, to be fed to the larvae by the workers.
