Slight problem, well, dilemma.

I'd like to add a section about bumblebees. Now although I know quite a lot about the subject, I mostly only know from things that other people (mostly dead!) have written. Anything I wrote would therefore be plagiarism at best, and copyright theft at worst. For instance: Painted Ladies migrate from North Africa. How do you know? Have you watched them? Probably not, you probably read it somewhere, although this example could be taken as common knowledge.

So anything I could contribute of my own experience would be from experiments that I did as an evil schoolboy, so I can tell you how much wing to chop off before they really can't fly, which ones will drown and which revive when dried out, and how long you can leave them in a fridge icebox, if anybodies interested.
