Got a very busy bee .... mine are just about finished here. Have fixed the yard a bit .. in the process of deciding about small, low growing shrubs over near the driveway.
Right now, it is 3 Dogwood trees spaced - and a gently curved hill of mulch.
Love the intense bee !

Oh my...that is so lovely. Nothing like a dramatic black and yellow insect on a gorgeous lantana blossom! Such explosions of color and contrast! Great angle here, superb details as you always share with us! I am sure you are aware that there are at least a couple of different bumble bee species...but did you know there are DOZENS of them?! Take a look, I never tire of these id guides! www.pnwbumblebeeatlas.org/species-illustrations.html

Examining this page, I can narrow the species down to a Black Tailed Bumble Bee but that's a group, not the exact name. You might be able to pinpoint by looking up bee species where you live! :)

Thank you so much, Janet, for your super-kind comments. But you also give me homework! I'll try and see if I can determine what species of bumblebee this is although "bumblebee" is more than good enough for me. Thank you for the link.
