Dumbledore ?

The Bumblebee (genus Bombus) is a native bee of North America
all though common in New Zealand and Tasmania
there are over 250 known species
The often hairy pollen gathering insect is a member of the Hymenoptera order
He is not The Headmaster of Hogwarts
though JK Rowling borrowed his name

The image of Professor Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore
takes a knock when you discover that our word is linked
to an old dialect dummel, for someone who is stupid or slow!

This is not the Bumblebee!
