Bumble bees live in nests in colonies, and they work together (The nest comprises the queen, the female workers and the male drones). They are wild insects, but that does not affect the answer to the question.

The question above doesn't mention anything about the bees being kept by humans. They work together in the wild.

Oh, I'm sorry. Probably, I've muddled everything up.

No problem. It shows that you are really thinking about things and not taking them at face value.
