When temperatures start to fall newly-mated queen bumble bees look for a sheltered place where they can hibernate until spring. The rest of the colony dies when they get too cold.
In the following spring the queens will come out of hibernation, find a new nest site and start building the nest, and start laying eggs and producing the new season's bumble bees.

Do people keeep bumble bees like they keep honey bees?
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.
