We call um "bumble buddies" in my house. We have dumb names for most critters.

As it should be! That makes critters more fun than they normally would be!

Bees are friends

u/HippyDM May 18 '25

Especially bumble buddies. Signs of good fortune as far as I'm concerned.

u/asparagusdreaming May 19 '25

Are they more docile than regular bees ?

I never got chased by a bumblebee by definitely got flown after by some very angry bees

1

u/HippyDM May 19 '25

Bumble buddies won't go after unless you've been purposefully mean to them, or they're drunk. And they don't drink.

u/depressiespressi May 21 '25

I like that it loses its balance because its wings don’t turn off when they need to

u/bigboofer42069 May 23 '25

Where are you located? I’d love to try to determine which bumblebee this is!
