Wikipedia article

A small woolly insect that lives in hive colonies. It has an annoying sting which it rarely uses.

Bumblebees are a type of vermin. They are found in any area that isn't freezing. They can sting a nearby dwarf without killing him, causing slight pain but no negative thought for the dwarf. They are not killed by cats.

Bumblebees spawn from "colonies", and are one of several creatures to do so (the only notable one being the honey bee). However, unlike the former, bumblebees can't be used for beekeeping, this being an intentional decision by Toady One. Bumblebee mead appears in the food stockpile along with standard honeybee mead, though it is not possible to brew it.

Some dwarves like bumblebees for their woolly appearance.


Admired for its woolly appearance.

Bugs

  • Bumblebee honey/mead/jelly may be preferred by some dwarves since it exists in the raws, but it isn't obtainable. A work-around exists in modding bumblebees to have the [ARTIFICIAL_HIVEABLE] tag, making them usable for beekeeping. Bug:4735
