Mystery Bombus - Bombus - female

Mystery Bombus - Bombus - Female
South Surrey, Greater Vancouver Regional District, British Columbia, Canada
August 1, 2014
Size: 17mm
Found death in garden. Keyed to Bombus vosnesenskii, but orange hairs on sides of T1 and T2 (orange at side T1 barely visible). T3 Black. T4 yellow. T5 and T6 black. Is this a mutation or is this another Bombus species, say maybe B. vandykei?
