Depicts a Bumblebee sitting on an abstracted flower, surrounded by the inscription "Bumblebee” below, with the engraver's initials on the right.

Bumblebees, part of the genus Bombus in the Apidae family, comprise over 250 species. Found primarily in the Northern Hemisphere, with some presence in South America, Europe's bumblebees have been introduced to New Zealand and Tasmania. These social insects typically form smaller colonies than honey bees, often with around 50 individuals. Cuckoo bumblebees, acting as brood parasites, invade and take over the nests of other bumblebee species. Known for their fuzzy appearance and warning coloration, bumblebees play a vital role in pollination. Unfortunately, their decline in Europe, North America, and Asia poses a threat due to habitat loss, agricultural changes, and pesticide use.
