Mystery Bumblebee - Bombus rufocinctus
Alberta, Canada
August 18, 2010
Possibly 2 faded orange bands at the T4/T5. A thin line of blonde colour at T1 but it is hard to tell what color the T1 to T3 bands are because these bands seem to be a worn out. The rest of the bbee was black and blonde (not yellow).
