In this episode of "Arthropod Adventures," I, Jesse Hurlburt, along with my co-host Charleigh Hurlburt, dive into the fascinating world of the arctic bumblebee, Bombus polaris. We explore the bee's incredible adaptations that allow it to survive and flourish in the brutal arctic conditions, such as its ability to regulate its body temperature and its unique life cycle. The episode also highlights the challenges these bees encounter, including predators like the arctic cuckoo. This educational content is specifically designed for my co-host Charleigh's mom, Ashley, and her first-grade class at John Trumbull, providing them with insights into the tenacity of arctic wildlife.
