A cuckoo-bumblebee is a type of bumblebee that is known for its parasitic behavior. Unlike normal bumblebees that make their own nests, the cuckoo-bumblebees invade the nests of other bumblebees, kill or eject the queen, and then use the worker bees of that nest to raise their own young. They are named after the cuckoo bird, which displays a similar parasitic behavior.
