Description
Bumble bee known as Bombus Terricola. It is a species of bee native to southern Canada and the east and midwest of the United States. It possesses complex behavioral traits, such as the ability to adapt to a queenless nest, choose which flower to visit, and regulate its temperature to fly during cold weather. It was at one time a common species, but has declined in numbers since the late 1990s, likely due to urban development and parasite infection. It is a good pollinator of wild flowers and crops such as alfalfa, potatoes, raspberries and cranberries.I found this info here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bombus_t…

Very nice shot! Great to see how the wings really looks like.
Is it a bumblebee this time or also a bee?

Thank you Danie. I have been doing some research. This one on the pink flower is a bumble bee called Bombus terricola and the other orange striped furry one on the pink flower is also a bumble bee and it is called Bombus ternaries.
