It’s that time of year - folks asking us about #bumblebees - WHY THEY’RE SEEING THEM ON THE GROUND - so here’s a thread to explain.
Please #repost !
Every queen that survives means a new colony that gets to exist & produce queen #bees for next year!
So important to #share!
Thank you.🙏🏼🐝🌍

Before entering hibernation in the autumn #bumblebee queens build up reserves of fat and glycogen in their bodies.
These queens will lose up to 80% of their fat reserves during #hibernation over the winter period.
