    This looks closer to Bombus flavifrons to me?

      Too many bees, not enough time! In all the provinces of Canada BC has the widest diversity of bees. So many different ones. The web page I used to ID this fellow has disappeared. Oh well! I’ll see if I can change the ID on this page. Posted 4 years ago
