what kind of Bombus? - Bombus flavidus
Buffalo Pound Provincial Park, Saskatchewan, Canada
August 29, 2014
Size: 3/4 "
Note added March 2016, I asked Dr. Cory S Sheffield to check through my bees on bugguide, he is in our city and I'd just talked to him at a bee talk that Laurence Packard did, and Cory graciously said he'd check through my bees... on this one he says "Hard to see the important characters".. not sure if I should leave this here or frass it
