Times up, bumblebees, if you please, belong to the genus Bombus.

到了，大黄，如果你也这么认为的话，属于熊属。

And now Leonard and her colleagues have discovered that bumblebees are pollen aficionados, too.

现在伦纳德和她的研究团队发现，熊也是花粉爱好者。

And it turns out, a bumblebee might have a similar feeling, buzzing through a field of flowers.

事实证明，熊在嗡嗡地飞过花田，可能会有类似的感觉。

They painstakingly recorded the sites of robbery holes in yellow-rattle flowers, and studied the behaviour of 168 bumblebees.

他们煞费苦心地记录yellow rattle上“抢劫孔”的位置，并且研究了168只熊的行为。

These look like the eastern bumblebee, bombus impatiens, and they are putting their tongues into the front of the flower.

这些看起来像东方大黄，熊，它们把舌头伸进花朵的前面。

Short-tongued bees are, however, unwilling to deny themselves the bounty of nectar inside these flowers. Hence the hole-cutting.

短舌熊难以抵御丰厚花蜜的诱惑，于是就有了“切口打孔”。

Which of these insects belongs to the genus Bombus?

以下哪种昆虫属于熊属？

You know, there's about 24 species of British bumblebee, all but six are declining.

你知道，英国大约有24种熊，其中除了六种外，其余都在减少。

Some bumblebees do have such tongues. But some do not.

有的熊的确有长舌，不过有些确实没有。

If they could, they then captured the insect so as not to follow it again on another occasion.

Small bumblebees are flying all over the plate. We call to the bumblebees as they buzz near the plane.

• 小熊在盘子里飞来飞去。当大黄在飞机附近嗡嗡作响，我们呼唤它们。

The question about nectar robbery that has intrigued biologists from Darwin onwards is whether the behaviour is innate or learnt.

熊抢劫花蜜的行为到底是先天性还是后天性，自达尔起，生物学家们一直对此感到困惑。

Moreover, if one species was behaving in (say) a left-handed manner in a particular meadow, the other was likely to do the same.

更有甚者，如果针对特定的草场，一种熊（假设）是“左撇子”，那么另一种熊通常也是“左撇子”。

Addie said the bumble bee and the yellow bumble bee when they're not under the microscope look pretty much the same except one's bigger than the other.

When we think about pollination, we may have honeybees in mind, but bumblebees and hoverflies and wasps and moths and butterflies and beetles also pollinate.

This technique lets bees get at the nectar of flowers whose shapes have evolved to encourage their pollination by insects with long tongues, which can reach down narrow tubes.

熊在花的一侧切开一个口，行径无异于银行强盗杀进金库。它们凭借这种本领获取狭小管道状花的花蜜。

About 250 species of bumblebees live across the globe. They're most common in temperate regions. But some can be found in the tropics and even in the Arctic.

Nectar robbery, in which a bumblebee carves a hole in the side of a flower as a bank robber might cut his way into a vault, was discovered by Charles Darwin.

某些花的形状发生了演化，以促进具有长舌的昆虫为其授粉。昆虫的长舌能探到狭小管道状花的深处。达尔（Charles Darwin）最先发现熊“抢劫花蜜”的行为。
