Arctic bumblebee.

[Worth1]

Folks I Saw the thread where are the bees.
Well here is one that I bet many didn't know existed.
It is the Arctic Bumblebee AKA Bombus Polaris.

A few years ago I saw these bees in the flowers growing on the tundra where I work.
I was flabbergasted to see a bee that far north.
I mean these things were right on the north coast of Alaska they couldn't go any farther north.

I pulled out my trusty smart phone and looked them up and there they were so I read all about them.

Then I went back to camp and told other people, one guy said the grubs over wintered in the hides of the caribou.
I told him they lived in the tall grass and hibernated.
He told me I wasnt from alaska and didnt know what I was talking about.
He is the same guy that told me we didn't have a formula one race track in Austin.
The guy is an idoit.
That's Austin in the background.


Well any who here I submit to you the Arctic Bumblebee.

Read all about this amazing critter of the frozen north.
