The Arctic Bumblebee (Bombus polaris) is found in Canada, Alaska, some of the Arctic Islands, Scandinavia and Russia.
The Arctic bumblebee has dense fur that slows heat loss.
These bees move their muscles quickly to warm their bodies.
Also these bumblebees have a higher abdominal temperature than its temperate cousins.
The bear because when it eats the honey the bees are still in it and he swallows them too! EWWW!

Like other species of bees, Arctic bumblebees feed on nectar. Some blossoms that provide nectar are Arctic poppy, Arctic rose, Arctic willow, bog blueberry, and lingonberry. The bees feed while the plants are blossoming during a period of about 2 ½ months between late May and early August. Pregnant females will then hibernate, often in mice nests under the tundra, and the remainder of colony will die.
