Does it sting?
Close-up view of a Sonoran Bumble Bee (Bombus Sonorus) , deceased. I found it lying on a trail. A little over an inch long (30mm), these big bees nest in the ground. Active all spring and summer, workers and drones die off in the fall, leaving mated queens to survive through the winter months. I suspect this is one of those workers who just lived out her life span and died on the job.
