Bombus sp.
Early morning, not very active in moving between flowers, possibly sick?
did you know that bumble bees proboscis are asome.
This is a bumble bee (Bombus sp.). Sometimes bumble bee workers will spend the night on a flower, so if you saw her early enough in the morning she was probably sluggish because she hadn't warmed up enough yet to be flying around and foraging.
