Depending on species, male #bumblebees have specific height preferences at which they patrol spreading their queen attracting scent.
Some work their magic in the tree tops. Others are more down to earth.

When male #bumblebees leave home they never look back!
They travel far from the nest - up to six miles - in order to avoid inbreeding when mating.
(A practice some people around these parts should take note of😂).

Male #bumblebees can’t #sting - even if they wanted to!
They don’t have a stinger.
All females (queens and workers) develop a stinger but the equivalent part of the body in males develops into the genital capsule.
Ouch!

Keeping with the male bumblebee theme:
Male #bumblebees do not forage for #pollen and #nectar for the colony but rather forage exclusively for nectar for themselves to maintain energy for mating flights and mating!
