Golden Northern Bumble Bee (Bombus fervidus) live in forest clearings, along roadsides, and in other open areas. Adults can be seen drinking nectar and collecting pollen from flowers and eating honey. Like Honey Bees, bumble bees chew pollen, mixing it with their saliva, to make honey. The honey is used as food to feed all of the bees, but especially the queen and larvae (baby bees). Bumblebees visit many different flowers making them as important to the plants they visit as the plants are to them. Once a flower has been pollinated, the plant can develop fruits and seeds to make more plants. Predators of bumble bees include birds, mantids, spiders, shrews, skunks, and dragonflies. Summer.
