Bumble Bees

Bumblebees are the large, fuzzy, black and yellow bees that fly slowy, drifting from flower to flower. Many people have even had bumblebees land on them and just shooed them away without being stung. However, bumblebees are very defensive of their territory and their nest. They will come out to chase you and they do not lose their stinger and can sting you more than once. Bumblebees build their nest underground and in structures.
