Notes on the Hibernation of Several North American Bumblebees
Although our knowledge concerning the life-history and habits of the various species of bumblebees which inhabit the arctic regions and the Tropics is rather meager, it seems to be definitely established that the colonies of at least some of the tropical species are perennial (cf. von Ihering, 1903)...
