Saskatoon Bumblebee -
Bombus
Pacific Heights/Confederation, Saskatoon and Area, Saskatchewan, Canada
June 23, 2018
Looking to ID this small bumblebee. It is a little bit smaller then the orange and red bottom bumble bees seen across Saskatoon.
This one was captured and put in the fridge for about an hour and a half to get dopey. Originally captured pollinating raspberries.

Bombus perplexus?
I would suggest
Bombus perplexus
, due to the golden color, lack of a black spot on the thorax, and the presence of some black hair underneath the wings. The ones I have been seeing recently have also been quite small.
If the other photos you posted are of the same specimen, you can link them together into one post by using the 'Add Image' button at the bottom of this post, and then uploading the others. This way, they can all be kept together if moved in the guide, and can help with ID.
