Small Parts. Not for children under 3 years.
The CollectA Bumble Bee measures: 2.25" L x 2.4" W x 1.5" T.
The vibrant yellow stripes alternating with the black stripes on the body are a standout feature, and the texture on the body is excellent, making it look as though it's covered in fuzz. The brown wings, while lacking in some details, still add to the overall realism of the product.
The segment detail on the legs and antenna is another aspect that we appreciate, as it gives the figurine a more lifelike appearance.
Bumblebees are social insects and live in colonies, with a single queen bee laying eggs and a group of workers carrying out the tasks of collecting nectar, pollen, and water. They are highly efficient pollinators due to their large size and ability to vibrate their wings at a frequency that causes flowers to release their pollen.
One of the most interesting aspects of bumblebees is their ability to regulate their body temperature, a trait that allows them to fly and forage in cooler weather than other bees. They also have a unique ability to "buzz pollinate" certain types of flowers, which involves vibrating their wings to shake loose pollen from the flower's anthers.
Unfortunately, bumblebees are facing numerous threats in many parts of the world, including habitat loss, pesticide use, and climate change. As important pollinators, their decline could have a significant impact on ecosystems and agriculture. Therefore, efforts are being made to conserve these fascinating insects and protect their habitats for future generations.
