Title: Re: [NAFEX] bumble bee as pollinator

That's the most aggressive behavior I've ever heard of in bumble bees. Are you sure you didn't have a species of underground living wasp?

Mark: I have found a similar thing with bumble bees. However, if you disturb their nest they will chase you. I did this and was chased from the barn to the house (100 yds)where, to escape, I closed the screen door behind me. The bee buzzed the screen several times and then waited for me to come out.
