Bumble bees are highly valued crop pollinators, particularly in greenhouses, but their use carries risks for wild bumble bee populations. Effective techniques to rear bumble bees for use as commercial pollinators were developed during the 20th century. Bumble bee rearing efforts date back to the ...
