Bumblebees imhando yezvipembenene zvemhuri yenyuchi. Kune anopfuura mazana maviri nemakumi mashanu marudzi emabumblebees munyika. Anonyanya kuzivikanwa imhando dzebumblebee dzinovaka matendere. Izwi redu rechiGerman rekuti Hummel rinobva kuLow German, uko rinoreva "zhizha".
Mabumblebees anogara munzvimbo ine mwero kana inotonhorera, sekuzivikanwa kuEurope. Mumamiriro ekunze anotonhora chaizvo, senge arctic kana makomo marefu, bumblebees kazhinji ndiyo chete tumbuyu mumhuri yavo. Vanogarawo muAmerica, Asia, uye kuchamhembe kweAfrica. Somuenzaniso, vakangouya kuNew Zealand nokuti vanhu vaigadzika nyuchi ikoko.
Kuenzaniswa nenyuchi, bumblebees dzakakura zvakanyanya uye dzakakora. Vane vhudzi rakawanda uye rakareba muviri wese. Imamiriyoni matatu ebvudzi, zvakafanana neretsindi – kunyangwe zvazvo tsindi yakakura zvikuru. Mamwe mabumblebee ane vhudzi dema, asi mazhinji ane orenji zvakare.
Bumblebees dzinorarama sei?
Kudendere rebumblebee, “mambokadzi” akakosha zvikuru. Iyi inyuchi hombe inokandira mazai. Madzimai matsva, anonzi majaya, anochochonya kubva kune mamwe mazai aya. Kubva kune vamwe kunouya nyuchi dzechikadzi, vashandi. Vachangove nemavhiki mashoma. Pakupedzisira, kune nyuchi dzechirume uye ma drones. Drones inofudza vanamambokadzi vadiki.
Pakupera kwezhizha, mambokadzi anorega kukandira mazai. Munguva pfupi pachange pasisina vashandi uye drones, uye hapasisina chikafu chichapinda mudendere. Dendere rinonzi riri ‘kufa’. Yakafa munaGunyana.
Asi vahosi vadiki vakaberekeswa vanorarama, mukurara. Muchirimo vanotsvaka gomba duku pasi kana kuti muhunde yemuti, kana kuti mudendere reshiri rakasiiwa. Izvo zvinoenderana nemhando. Ikoko vanokandira mazai, uye dendere idzva rebumblebee rinogadzirwa.
Mbeva yemumunda muvengi ane njodzi kune nyuchi: Munguva yechando inovhima madzimai madiki akarara muvhu. Dzimwe mhuka dzinoyamwisa dzakadai sembira dzinodya nyuchi mumatendere. Pamusoro pazvose, kune dzimwe mhando dzeshiri dzinofarira kudya nyuchi.
Ndezvipi zvipembenene zvakafanana nebumblebees?
Imwe mhando yebumblebee inonzi cuckoo bumblebee. Dzinoita chimwe chinhu chisingaitwe nedzimwe nyuchi zvachose: dzinokandira mazai adzo mumatendere edzimwe nyuchi. Ivo vanobva vatarisira vechidiki cuckoo bumblebees. Izvi zvakafanana neshiri yecuckoo.
Kune akati wandei marudzi emuvezi nyuchi dzakafanana nebumblebees. Iwo zvakare akakora uye ane mvere. Asi vane mavara akasiyana pane mabumblebees.
Bumblebee hoverfly imwe yemhando shoma dzenhunzi dzinotaridzikawo sebumblebees. Izvi hazvina kuitika: nhunzi idzi hadzina kukuvadza. Nekudaro, nekuti vanotaridzika senge nyuchi dzinodzivirira zvakanyanya, vavengi vanovasiya vega.
