Description
This is a close-up of a Common Eastern Bumble bee (Bombus impatiens) atop a beautiful orange zinnia in my Ohio garden on a warm August day. I am quite happy to see so many of these bumble bees around my garden. They are busy and I leave them alone . . . and they pay no attention to me!
According to bugguide.net:
"This is the most often encountered bumble bee across much of eastern North America. It has unusually large colony sizes and for this reason may be at some competitive advantage. It has an unusually long flight season and thrives across a wide range of habitats and climates ranging from the cold temperate zone (e.g., Minnesota) to the warm subtropics (south Florida). Its occurrence in the Miami area was documented long ago by Graenicher, showing that this species can establish and perpetuate itself in warm and relatively aseasonal areas. It does not require cool temperatures to overwinter.
