Smaller than another rusty patched I saw foraging next to it on boneset. Saw at least two at this location.
Old sighting that I uploaded into bumble bee watch in early 2017.
The top two segments of it s abdomen were yellow, and the second segment had a rusty brown patch at the top of the second segment. These pictures were not great but I am confident that the second segment was yellow with a rusty patch near the top of it.
We have a nest near the pool. And one in a wall to the basement. Not inside.
Recording insects, spiders, birds, nectar plants and other flora as I search for butterflies - butterflies reported separately mostly to eButterfly.org
Documenting the relationship between insects and plants.
What a happy bee
