Bumblebee nests

[Jared77]

Short but very cool article on Bumblebees and how to set up a hive for them especially good for folks who don't want to deal with honey production but want the benefits of bees.

Enjoy

I have never been stung by a Bumblebee!

Sometimes they can seem aggressive, flying around my face, and they LOOK like they could really do some damage with a stinger, but have never been stung by one.

Are they able to sting?

It's those YELLOW JACKETS that do the stinging! Aargh!
