Orange-belted bumblebee

Bombus ternarius

Description:

The bumbebee is normally a highland species, often found on bilberry, cranberry, and cowberry (Vaccinium vitis-idaea). It is a pollen storer; it actively feeds the larvae from a central pollen storage, rather than providing each larval cell with its own pollen container. - from Wikipedia
