bombus is an evolving photo/graphic collective for artists working on project specific works, photo-themas, and visual narratives.

bombus is not-for-profit.

the genus Bombus in the family Apidae is the Linnean taxonomy for the common moniker, bumblebee. Like the honeybee, of which it is a relative, Bombus feeds on nectar and gathers pollen to feed its young. They are very interesting creatures that are beneficial to humans and the plant world alike, and tend to be larger than other members of the bee family. Most, but not all, bumblebee species are gentle. From this comes their original name: "Humblebee".

Bombus are social insects that are characterised by a black and yellow striped body, a commonality among the majority of the species of Bombus; however, some species are known to have orange or even red on their bodies. Another distinguishing characteristic is a hairlike substance, called pile, that covers their entire body, making them appear and feel fuzzy.
