Please don't post directly to species if not certain
Appears to be bimaculatus not impatiens

Note dark wings and black spot in center of scutum. Also note extent of yellow on vertex

Furthermore, are workers really out 7June in Quebec?

Hi, The identification wa
Hi,

The identification was made by a specialist friend (Master in pollinating insect). So I relied on his identification. Otherwise I would have kept the identification bombus sp.

Nobody is safe from errors, so I'll move him your message. It will be better placed to answer your questions.

Bombus
Indeed, There was a dentification error. In the future, I would trust your identification and I would keep in bombus sp.
