Bumblebees are found living in nests in number of 15 to 50 bees. Nests are smaller in spring and larger in the fall. They are perhaps twice the size of a honeybee. In the mid & upper regions of the US and through Canada you are likely to see brighter more colorful bumblebees than in the lower portion of the US. Bumblebees may be identified in cavities in the ground such as an abandoned gopher hole, under sheds, or in other low to the ground places. Bumble bees are seasonal bees, after summer only the queens overwinter to survive, starting a new colony in the spring. They can be known to defend their hive very aggressively and may sting multiple times and don't lose their stinger. It is said that (like many types of bees) the bumblebee species has been declining.
