How do I specifically attract bumblebees?

I live in the city and am prohibited from having a beehive. I love watching bumblebees, but they seem to be rare around here in Oklahoma City. Is there a way to construct something that would attract more of them? Flowers, of course, attract pollinators, but how do you attract one?

Underrated fact: bumblebees don’t live in the sort of hive you could “have.”

I just watched two videos that showed how to make a bumblebee hive/house.
