Big ole bumblebee!

I am not used to seeing this kind of bumblebee. From her size and the time of year, I'd assume she's a queen. But I've never seen this color pattern, but I do know there is an astounding variety of bumblebees on the planet!

I was raking hair off my dog in great clumps, and I turned left, and zowie! Bee!

I snuck off and got my camera, obviously.

I was kinda far away from her, as she clung to the crabgrass, and used the zoom to the Max!

I managed to get one other angle! She did stir to clean an antenna, but that was the only action I saw.

Off to ID her! Woot!
