The Rusty Patched Bumblebee is an endangered species, and as a pollinator, extremely important to the environment and life. As such, they should be treated as royalty. 

This bee wears the Queen Mum’s royal jewels and commands dignity and respect from her hive and the throne of flowers over which she presides. She’s totally blinged out. We need to cherish and help to protect the Rusty Patched Bumblebees we have left, without them, life would be very different.
