It lives in gardens and fields - anywhere there are flowers for it to visit and trees for it to nest in.
Bumble bees are very common.
It has a big hairy body with yellow, black and white stripes and pollen-sacs on its legs. It eats pollen from flowers and brings it back to the nest to feed its young. When it flies back to it's nest, it can tell it's companions where the best flowers are by performing a dance. Bees are cold-blooded so they need to be warm before they can fly.
