Bombus morio is one of the few bumblebee species found in South America.[2] These bees reside mainly in the forests of Brazil, nesting on the surface of the ground.[3] They are one of the biggest species of bumblebee and are important pollinators. They are one of the few species of bees that exhibit buzz pollination to collect pollen from the flowers.[4]
