A few species (B. polaris and B. alpinus) range into very cold climates where other bees might not be found; B. polaris occurs in northern Ellesmere Island in the high Arctic, along with another bumblebee B. hyperboreus, which parasitises its nest. This is the northernmost occurrence of any eusocial insect. [25]

Up to 100,000 scale insects need to be collected and processed to make a kilogram (2.2 lbs) of cochineal dye. [89] A similar number of lac bugs are needed to make a kilogram of shellac, a brush-on colourant and wood finish. [90]
