Bumblebees are beneficial social insects known for pollinating crops and wild plants. They are found throughout Canada in abundance. Of the over 200 known bumblebee species worldwide, approximately 50 are found in North America. Bumblebees are sometimes mistaken for the carpenter bees. Bumblebees have hairier bodies than carpenter bees, which have a solid colour and possess solid black abdomens. Bumblebees are annual nesters that build new nests each spring as opposed to reusing ones from the previous year.
