Most bumble bees live in suitable holes, such as abandoned mouse holes in the ground or in soil banks.
Honey bees live in a hive, bumble bees live in a nest.
Bumble bees live for about 2 to 6 weeks, although queen bumble bees can live for several months. The duration of their lifespan depends on factors such as the time of year and their role within the colony.
Bumble bees live on pretty much the same diet as honey bees: pollen and nectar (the basis of honey).
10 to 20 days
It depends on how many stripes it has
Yes, bumblebees live in some deserts.
from my research the world famous "bumble bees" live in California. other type of bee is, a "solitary bee" I'm sure there are others but the majority is "bumble bees", and "solitary".
Yes, but in much smaller colonies with around 50 others.
All bees, including bumble bees, have a one-year life span. The Queen does hibernate until Spring.
Honey bees are social insects and live in groups of a few tens of thousands, bumble bees live in small groups or even alone. Although both species make honey, only honey bees store a surplus for times when nectar is not available. Bumble bees make at most around a tablespoonful of honey. Honey bees remain active over winter, though they won't leave the hive if it is too cold or wet. Young bumble bee queens seek out a sheltered place in which to hibernate, and the other bumble bees die when winter comes.
We can't keep bumble bees in the same way we keep honey bees. There are several reasons for this:Bumble bees tend to be either solitary or live in very small colonies, compared to the honey bee hive of around 60,000 bees in the summer.Honey bees make more honey than they need, and this is what we collect. Bumble bees do make honey, but only in very small amounts. At the most you would collect about a tablespoonful of honey from a bumble bee nest.Bumble bees won't live in hives.A honey bee colony lives through the winter (they don't hibernate), so you still have the colony in spring. At the end of summer newly-mated bumble bee queens fly off to find somewhere to hibernate through the winter; all other bumble bees die as the cold weather comes.WRONG. The person who gave this answer has no idea what they are talking about. Bumble bees are commonly kept as pollinators, especially for indoor greenhouse crops like tomatoes. Google it.
Bee HiveOnly domesticated honey bees live in hives. Honey bees living in the wild will usually build a nest in the hollow of a tree trunk or under the eaves of someones house. Bumble bees very often nest in holes in the ground.Honey bees can live in a hive or in a hollow tree or in the attic of a house etc.
