Looking to buy a Bumble Bee Dart Frog?

The Bumble Bee Dart Frog (Dendrobates leucomelas) is one of the most recognizable dart frog species in the hobby. Native to northern South America, particularly Venezuela and parts of Guyana and Brazil, this species is known for its bold yellow and black banded pattern that resembles the coloration of a bumble bee. Their striking appearance and active daytime behavior make them a favorite among dart frog enthusiasts.

In captivity, Bumble Bee Dart Frogs thrive in well-planted tropical vivariums with moderate to high humidity and plenty of leaf litter and hiding places. Unlike many frogs that remain hidden, this species is often active during the day, frequently exploring the enclosure and calling with their distinctive chirping sound.

Bumble Bee Dart Frogs feed on small insects such as flightless fruit flies, pinhead crickets, and other appropriately sized micro-prey. With proper husbandry they are hardy compared to many other dart frog species, making them a good option for both new and experienced dart frog keepers.
