Bombus pensylvanicus

Notes:

One of many bees totally covered with pollen from this tree flower(sorry, don't know the tree) If you look closely you can see bits of pollen flying in the air,caused by the wings fluttering

@catsincluded...I've usually seen them with the pollen on the legs, it was cool to see them covered with it. Thank you for identifying the flower in the picture.
