Bee ID - Bombus perplexus - Female
Doddridge County, West Virginia, USA
July 10, 2007
Is it possible to ID this smallish bee? It never took it's head out of the Pincushion flower until it flew away. I have several different angles, but no pics of the head.

the yellow hairs on T1-3 are typical of workers of this species from WV and adjacent areas

 
Thank you!
I was hoping there was enough detail to ID it and have moved them to the Bombus perplexus page.
