Bumble Bee

Description:

This yellow and black striped bumble bee was found looking for pollen on a cone flower. This bee was of medium size and had 2 transparent wings.

Habitat:

Bumble bees are typical found in higher altitudes. They are attracted to flowers with brightly colored petals. They also look for flowers that have a good landing surface.

Notes:

I found this bumble bee searching for pollen on a cone flower in my mother's garden. After he left this cone flower he flew to a nearby flower to continue his search for pollen. Bumble bees are generally solitary, and this bee I spotted seemed to be alone in the garden.
