Bombus sp.

By queue,
posted 18 years ago Photographer

I finally got a semi-decent shot of a bee.

This is a Bumble Bee, genus Bombus. Not sure of exact species.

I love Bees and Bumblebees! They are so fluffy! ^^

Very nice shot! I only wish you hadn't cut it's wing in the pic >.<

Yeah, that would have been better. It's difficult to get these guys focused and in frame before they move away.

They're VERY busy.

Looks sort of like the evil carpenter bees that are eating my house. How do you tell the difference between bumblers and carpenters? The bumblers are smaller, I think...

Easiest way to tell is the abdomen. Bumble bees have very furry abdomens while Carpenter bees tend to have much less fur covering their abdomens.

Gorgeous image! I'm kind of phobic about stinging insects, but for some reason bumble bees don't really scare me... maybe it's just because they look so roly-poly and fuzzy.
