All about the bumblebee

The bumblebee is one of the insects and bugs in our Animal Kingdom. You can find it in gardens and meadows, and it eats nectar and pollen. Listen for it: a deep buzz. This page is a good fit for ages 3 to 8 (Preschool to 3rd Grade), and Buzzby can read it out loud.

Is the bumblebee one of the insects and bugs?

Yes. Insects have six legs and three body parts. Spiders and snails are bugs but not insects.
