Publisher's Synopsis
The iconic yellow and black American Bumble Bee is a classic summertime friend doing tremendous amount of good for plants and virtually no harm to people. They do have smooth stingers, and can use them repeatedly, but they are not aggressive and are likely to take notice of people and pets that are not attacking them. Bumble bees are industrious pollinators. They forage for pollen and nectar all over meadows, parks, and open fields, gardens and forests.
