Can anyone give me a good explanation of why Bumble bees are so called.I've obtained a couple of explanations from the web but neither very detailed or convincing.
Thanks

Thank you, got to the Bumble bee web site which will have overkill info but great anyway. I'm constantly amazed by the information on the internet.
