Bumble Bee - Andrena milwaukeensis - Female
Minneapolis, Hennepin County, Minnesota, USA
June 4, 2006
I'm curious if this is Bombus spp. It had 3 rows of red hairs across it's abdomen, not in a solid color. It's a little tough to see in this image. I hadn't noticed this before. Any ID possible? Thanks.

Andrenid bee (Andrenidae)
Maybe genus Andrena itself. Any Bumble Bee would have a much more compact outline, and differnet hind legs.
