68 days to go to Insect Week
The Natural History Museum houses major internationally-renowned collections of biological specimens used to study the taxonomy and diversity of life on earth. Public displays based on these collections are used to illustrate and explain the natural world to the Museum’s visitors. Its mission is to maintain and develop the collections, and use them to promote the discovery, understanding, responsible use and enjoyment of nature.
Bumblebees can do 'buzz' pollination, wing muscles vibrate their bodies to extract and transfer flower pollen.
