Types of Bees: Bumble Bee, Bombus huntii

Bombus huntii. Badlands National Park, South Dakota, note the ragged edges to the wing….this is an old worker who has been collecting nectar for a while, eventually it will no longer be able to fly or will have been eaten. (photo by Sam Droege for the USGS Bee Inventory and Monitoring Lab)
