Saw a bumblebee on the ground by the beehives and picked it up to put it in the sun. It flew away not long after getting a little sunshine. I figured it was a male bee so I wasn't worried about getting stung but I think it might actually be a Bombus Vagans queen. The half-black bumblebee.

Took some photos of the bumblebee while I was waiting for it to be on it's way.

A bumblebee on a sunflower, probably a longhorned bee but maybe a leafcutter bee on a sunflower, and a for sure longhorned bee on a rudbeckia hirta.

Half-black bumblebees on the purple coneflowers and zinnias.
