Mystery BBee - Bombus borealis...Thank you John !
ARe you able to tell me the size of this BBee by the photo I have shared please? Reason-being is that by my calculations (I am no way a pro at this as you are)I sized this BBee to be around 4+ cm in length from head to end of butt which would then make it about 40mm but I find no evidence of a BBee this (40mm) size so I am wondering if I am calculating wrong.
Thank you so much for helping me to identify this BBee. I really appreciate you taking the time to do what you do.
Deborah
