Bumblebee

This unusual little bumblebee surprised me with its nearly albino coloring. All the bumblebees I am familiar with are yellow and black. It didn’t mind the camera but certainly didn’t want to stop gathering pollen to pose for a picture.
Some internet research reveals that these bees aren’t at all uncommon, and in fact I was once again unable to narrow the identification to anything closer than genus bombus, which contains all bumblebees.
Slowly getting the site back onto an even keel. It's nice to get back into the old posting rhythm.

You’ve never seen one of these guys before?
I admit, I’m surprised there’s more than one breed that’s white and black like that. Interesting.

It’s KYOOOOOT. I’d want to hug it, except then it would get squished and sting me, which would hurt.
