      For two main reasons:
      1) Because i really love bumblebees. I think they are beautiful and fascinating. They have an incredible society where they all work together. They are only tiny but they are so important for the world because they help to pollinate plants
      2) Because bumblebees are declining at the moment and there is a horrible possibility that they might go extinct if we don’t do anything about it. I want to be part of the solution.
