Yellow-banded Bumble Bee (click on the hot link for more info)
"Bernie! You have just documented a threatened species -- indeed, the yellow-banded bumblebe (Bombus terricola). Really cool stuff. I have contacted one of the researchers at UVM, Leif Richardson to let him know. He has requested the location and date of your picture. I don't know if he will request to use your photo, but I would like to ask permission now in case he -or I- want to use it." Gabe Andrews, UVM
The Yellow-banded Bumblee bee photos were taken on 5/17/2016 from 12:36-12:39 pm in my backyard on Kirby Rd., South Burlington, Vermont. (On an Evans Bali Cherry Tree)
Go out and observe, for nature will astound you. ~Bernie

#BeeFriendlier - or else
Bees at work on the fruit tree blossoms and the flowering Quince.
In the middle of the BEE-FEST, this
White-crowned Sparrow dropped by.
The bee on the dandelion
is probably one of the genus 0smia of which there are roughly 30 species in the
East. I'm not positive however but 90 per cent sure or so. There are hundred of
species of bees. It is very helpful to get an image that includes a sharp view
of the head. Anyhow, I've seen this type many times on dandelion. ~Don Miller
