Summary

[edit]
Description

Ah, a parasitic bumble bee. One that usurps the nests of other species. Nice to find this one in Yellowstone National Park as part of a National Park Survey alpine bee survey, as it is a nest parasite of groups of species that have declined in the U.S. and Canada as of Colby Francoeur. 11:17, 25 December 2018 (UTC)11:17, 25 December 2018 (UTC){{{{{{0}}}}}}11:17, 25 December 2018 (UTC)11:17, 25 December 2018 (UTC)
