Where do bumblebees nest in the wild?
Quick Answer
Bumblebees nest in cavities underground, in grasses, or in sheltered spots above ground. They are found mainly in temperate regions across the Northern Hemisphere, with some in South America.
The Full Story
Bumblebees are native to temperate and cooler regions of the Northern Hemisphere and also occur in parts of South America. In the wild, many species nest underground in abandoned rodent burrows, while others use grass tussocks, tree cavities, or other protected spaces. Their colonies are usually much smaller than honey bee hives and last only one season in many species. Bumblebees are important pollinators for wildflowers and crops. Different species have adapted to forests, meadows, mountains, and tundra edges.
