Unknown Bombus - Bombus nevadensis -  Rock Creek, Boundary Region, British Columbia, Canada
Size: 3cm
There were a million of these (perhaps a slight exaggeration) on a Caragana bush this summer. They were quite large, I would say an inch at least, and very bulky. I think it's either a black and gold bumblebee or a brown belted bumblebee, but I can't tell for sure.
Any help out there?
Thanks!
