Bombus ternarius, F, Face, NY, Franklin County
This is the main orange butted Bumblebee of the East. Bombus ternarius. It can be very common in places like the Adirondacks where this one was collected, but occurs throughout a wide range of the Upper Midwest to New England and throughout southern Quebec and Ontario in our gardens and fields. Nice to have a little color in the bumble bee world and not be worried about a species' status. Photo by Brooke Alexander.
