Bumble Bee on Solidago - Bombus flavidus
SE of Popple River, Florence County, Wisconsin, USA
August 9, 2016
This bumble bee was observed on goldenrod (Solidago) in a wildlife opening on Forest Service land. After some photos, the bee flew to the ground and began crawling along the grass while still beating it's wings. Any identification help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much!
