Yellow Faced Bumblebee

Yellow-faced Bumble Bees have yellow hair on the head and face as well as a single yellow band on the abdomen. Huge pollen baskets on their legs are open pouches, waiting to be stuffed with flower pollen. The color of the basket depends on the color of the pollen collected. Red pollen and yellow pollen are the most common colors. Females lay eggs in abandoned rodent nests in the ground, not in trees or on buildings. This species will sting if bothered.
