Bees are having serious trouble right now with massive population losses.
Bumblebees provide valuable pollination services and these mysterious losses are troubling. I have a friend who is a bee scientist, so I have been hearing about this for quite a while, but even Martha Stewart has been talking about it of late.
My scientist friend will have a book out soon on raising bumblebees for the novice. I did some proofreading/editing for her, and it was interesting and easy to digest for the lay-person.
Bumblebees do have stingers and they don't die after using them like honeybees do.
