	The Bumblebee Body, overview
		The bumblebee's body has many adaptations to enable her to gather nectar and pollen more efficiently from flowers, to operate in temperatures that stop other pollinators working, and to defend herself and her nestmates.
		Bumblebees have two pairs of wings, though it looks like they have just one pair as the wings operate together, unlike those of dragonflies, and are held together by a series of hooks.
		Queen and worker bumblebee legs are specialised for gathering pollen.

	Bumblebee - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bumblebees are important pollinators of both crops and wildflowers, but are in danger in many developed countries due to habitat destruction and collateral pesticide damage.
		Bumblebees are social insects that are characterized by a fl body with yellow stripes, a commonality among the majority of the species of Bombus; however, some species are known to have orange or even red on their bodies, or may be entirely fl.
		Bumblebees are increasingly cultured for agricultural use as pollinators because they can pollinate plant species that other pollinators cannot by using a technique known as buzz pollination.

	XML.com: BumbleBee, the XQuery Test Harness
		Using BumbleBee as your testing tool, you can craft automated tests to run your queries against fixed data sets and verify the results of the queries, so you can trust the results of production queries run against less controlled input.
		Some have also found BumbleBee useful in learning XQuery, employing it to support "test-first learning." In this mode of learning, you present yourself a challenge: "I want to take this input and produce this output." Then you work to code the query that produces the desired result.
		BumbleBee has adapter code for each of these vendors that maps from a standard interface to each vendor-specific implementation.
