The yellow-banded bumblebee is a high-altitude specialist with a "feverish" talent. Unlike many insects, they shiver their flight muscles to generate heat, allowing them to forage in near-freezing dawn temperatures. They also perform "buzz pollination," vibrating at specific frequences to unlock pollen from flowers that other bees simply cannot access.
