Common Eastern Bumblebee (Bombus impatiens) in Pinery Provincial Park, May 2017. Bumblebee queens spend the winter in sheltered locations and emerge in mid-April or early May to begin new colonies. They build these nests underground, usually in abandoned Chipmunk or Mouse burrows. Unlike Honeybees which have a rigid nest structure, Bumblebees lay their eggs throughout the underground chamber in clumps. . . . . . . . #nature #ontario #bumblebee #bombus #bombusimpatiens #bumblebeesofinstagram #bumblebeephotography #bees🐝 #nativebees #ontariobees #beesofinstagram #socialinsects #insect_of_our_world #insectlover #pineryprovincialpark #pinerypp #nature_addict (at Pinery Provincial Park, Grand Bend) https://www.instagram.com/p/COiIfJIga6g/?igshid=1x00xvjr169h8
