"Like honey bees, bumble bees live socially in hives which provide shelter and a place to raise their young. Usually located underground [..] bumble bee hives usually include between 50-500 individuals.
Managed bumble bee hives have become big business during the past two decades as agricultural demand for bumble bee-pollinated berries, peppers and, especially, hothouse tomatoes has skyrocketed."
