Bumblebee Conclusions.

Their nests are always hidden, never exposed to the outside.

As more adult Bumblebees are available to work, the nest grows quickly.

Contrary to popular belief, Bumblebees do sting.

When a Bumblebee stings, it's normal buzz changes to a high pitch which acts as a call to the other Bumblebees to "help sting the intruder".

Homeowner spraying of a Bumblebee's nest that is inside the house almost always results in the "driving them into the house trap" - please see Common Fallacies question # 4 for a full explanation.

**Warning - Do not attempt this yourself. What you did not see is the large number of Bumblebees stinging our Bee Suit. This nest was not large. You could face a dangerous situation attempting to do it yourself. Our price is much cheaper than the hospital's price. See the Traps page.
