Black-Tailed Bumblebee

Black-tailed bumblebee (Bombus melanopygus) is an orange and yellow bumblebee with a black tip, native to western North America from British Columbia to California, and as far east as Idaho. This native bumblebee feeds on many different plants and nests underground or in structures above ground like birdhouses, mail boxes, and other cozy spots. They are fun pollinators to watch.
