possibly Bombus impatiens? Though I'm not sure if it occures in Alberta.
Or perhaps a well worn Bombus nevadensis.

clearly not impatiens (note yellow T2!)
doesn't look like nevadensis either (note all black T3)

perhaps vagans?

impatiens now occurs many places it shouldn't, such as BC, thanks to the commercial bumble bee industry, so might turn up in AB
