ʻO ka Bumblebees kekahi ʻano pepeke no ka ʻohana pi. Aia ma kahi o 250 mau ʻano o nā bumblebees ma ka honua. ʻO ka mea kaulana loa ʻo ia nā ʻano bumblebee e kūkulu pū ana. ʻO kā mākou hua'ōlelo German Hummel mai Low German, kahi i kapa ʻia ʻo "kauwela".
Noho ʻo Bumblebees i kahi anuanu a i ʻole anuanu, e like me ka mea i ʻike ʻia ma ʻEulopa. I nā piʻi anuanu maoli, e like me ka Arctic a i ʻole nā mauna kiʻekiʻe, ʻo nā bumblebees wale nō nā ʻiniko i loko o ko lākou ʻohana. Noho lākou ma ʻAmelika, ʻAsia, a me ʻApelika ʻākau. No ka laʻana, hele mai lākou i New Zealand no ka mea ua hoʻonoho nā kānaka i nā bumblebees ma laila.
Ke hoʻohālikelike ʻia me nā nalo meli, ʻoi aku ka nui a me ka mānoanoa o ka bumblebees. ʻOi aku ka lōʻihi o ka lauoho ma ko lākou kino a pau. ʻEkolu miliona mau lauoho, e like me ka squirrel - ʻoiai ʻoi aku ka nui o ka squirrel. He ʻeleʻele ka lauoho o kekahi ʻano bumblebee, akā he ʻalani kekahi.
Pehea ka noho ʻana o ka nalo?
No ka pūnana bumblebee, he mea koʻikoʻi ka “queen”. He puʻupuʻu nui loa kēia e waiho hua. ʻO nā mōʻī wahine hou, i kapa ʻia ʻo nā mōʻī wahine ʻōpio, hāʻule mai kekahi o kēia mau hua. Mai nā poʻe ʻē aʻe mai nā bumblebees wahine, nā limahana. He mau pule wale no ko lakou. ʻO ka hope, aia nā bumblebees kāne a me nā drones. Hoʻomomona nā drones i nā mōʻī wahine ʻōpio.
I ka pau ʻana o ke kauwela, hoʻōki ka mōʻīwahine i ka waiho ʻana i nā hua. ʻAʻole koke ka poʻe limahana a me nā drones, a ʻaʻohe meaʻai e komo hou i loko o ka pūnana. Ua ʻōlelo ʻia e make ana ka pūnana. Ua make i Kepakemapa.
Akā, ola nā mōʻī wahine ʻōpio i hoʻomoʻa ʻia, i ka hibernation. I ka pūnāwai e ʻimi lākou i kahi lua liʻiliʻi ma ka lepo a i ʻole ma kahi kumu lāʻau, a i ʻole ma ka pūnana manu i haʻalele ʻia. Pili kēlā i ka ʻano. Ma laila lākou e waiho ai i nā hua, a ua hana ʻia kahi pūnana bumblebee hou.
He ʻenemi pōʻino ka ʻiole kula no nā bumblebees: I ka hoʻoilo, ʻānai ʻo ia i nā mōʻī wahine ʻōpio moe i ka lepo. ʻAi nā mea momona ʻē aʻe e like me ka badgers i nā bumblebees i loko o ka pūnana. Ma luna o nā mea a pau, aia kekahi mau manu makemake e ʻai i ka bumblebees.
ʻO wai nā ʻenekini e like me ka bumblebees?
Ua kapa ʻia kekahi ʻano bumblebee he cuckoo bumblebee. Hana lākou i ka hana ʻole a nā nalo ʻē aʻe: waiho lākou i kā lākou mau hua i loko o nā pūnana o nā nalo ʻē aʻe. A laila mālama lākou i nā ʻōpio cuckoo bumblebees. Ua like kēia me ka manu cuckoo.
Nui nā ʻano nalo kamana e like me ka bumblebees. He momona a huluhulu nō hoʻi lākou. Akā ʻokoʻa ko lākou kala ma mua o nā bumblebees.
ʻO ka bumblebee hoverfly kekahi o nā ʻano nalo e like me nā bumblebee. ʻAʻole kēia he coincidence: ʻaʻole ʻino kēia mau nalo. Eia nō naʻe, no ka mea ua like lākou me nā bumblebees ʻoi aku ka pale, waiho wale nā ʻenemi iā lākou.
