Am I the only one who's more amazed by how they able to record all of these events? It's like the paparazzi of wildlife.

I like bumblebees. They dont sting me and they're never curious about me. Those yellow jackets always fly around me and ask who the hell I am though.

I really miss the days when National Geographic made actual educational documentaries like this one.

Bumblebees are cute to me. :3 They're all fluffy, round, and little.

Imagine getting kicked out of your home by a bumblebee

I love that the queen isn't just the baby maker she also feeds herself. Badass

Honeybee: (meticulously and carefully constructs a geometrically-perfect, artistic-looking hive)
Bumblebee: (haphazardly makes a horrendous mess of a hive that looks like a school project crammed during the lunch break)

I love bumblebees. As a beekeeper whenever a bumblebee nest is found in a hi-risk location I will remove the colony and keep them in a box for a week and feed them and once that week is up I relocate them into my bee yard. I removed a small nest of American bumblebees out of one of our hay storage barns this year and relocated them to the bee yard and not only did the nest get very large it also produced a nice batch of queens and males. I got video of the nest on my channel

I can't believe it, a documentary about the Bumblebee. Finally they get something too.

Bumblebees are the best because they don't die after stinging, they aren't scary demons of hell and they are great pollinators. And best of all, they’re fat. Edit: omg, thanks for all the likes!

When the queen took on that mouse I was like....Beedrill vs Raticate go.

Bumblebees are just flat-out COOL. I used to have a camping trailer on my property many years ago where some bumblebees made a nest inside the walls. One time I plugged the entrance temporarily just to see how they would react- they were puzzled but not at all aggressive and I was standing about six feet away! After about five or ten minutes or so, I unplugged the entrance and in they went, business as usual.

Bumblebees don't usually need to sting, they just hit you and knock you out :) Especially the ones I saw in Maui 40 years ago when I visited, they were HUGE. And I mean HUGE.

Don't feel bad, guys. I just watched an hour long vid about the private life of chickens

Bumblebees are so fun to watch. They're not mean at all. As a kid they used to love watching and even touching a few. They never stung me either. They'll walk up and down my arm then fly away.

A week ago I was in botanical garden and there was this place full of bees. As this guy was saying something about some plant, I looked down and saw bumble bee picking up something from the floor. It looked very big and heavy for bumble bee to carry it. I swear next moments happened in slow motion. Just as bumble bee picked it up, she immediately flipped over on the side and fell onto the ground. It was the funniest thing ever and the cutest. Ah, I love bumble bees...

I knew there was a reason I loved and respected Bumblebees. Now this documentary just cemented my love for them. They make little cups of honey wax, just living it up. They don't play games, and will attack, but they just bumble around doing whatever the f bumblebee wanna do.

I always felt that bumble bees and bees are the "good guys" and Wasp and hornets are the "bad guys" of insects.

Bumblebees are cool. I have a bunch of bumblebees in my backyard right now. They really like honeysuckle and I like to sit and watch them while watering my garden.
