This piece is to bring awareness to the importance to the development of the bumblebee. The lifecycle begins in the spring, when rising temperatures awaken the queen that has wintered in the ground. When she first emerges, she feeds on flowers drinking nectar to gain energy. She chooses her nesting site then the queen will begin to collect pollen from flowers to bring back to the nest. Sipping from nectar pot gives her enough energy to incubate the eggs for several days until larvae emerges. These larvae are fed on pollen and nectar which the queen goes back and forth to collect from nearby flowers.
