A bumblebee (also written bumble bee) is a member of the genus Bombus, part of Apidae, one of the bee families. Over 250 species of bumblebee are known. They are found primarily in higher altitudes or latitudes in the Northern Hemisphere, although they are also found in South America where a few lowland tropical species have been identified. European bumblebees have also been introduced to New Zealand and Tasmania. (wikipedia)
