Black-tailed Bumble Bee!!

A Black-tailed Bumble Bee collecting pollen and nectar! Nectar is an important food source for Bumbles and is collected to feed the larvae and is stored as "honey pots" within the nest. This Bumble chose our Cotoneaster Dammeri to feed. I love how fuzzy these little cuties are. Photo taken in our backyard in Camas, Washington.
