Cloudview and Bumble bee Atlas
This is an organic farm that I used after not finding Bumble bees at any of the other sites I picked out for my first attempt counting Bumble bees for the PNW Bumble Bee Atlas. Plenty of diversity. This is a small field surrounded by organic apple orchards. Currently it is planted with two different things, some kind of specialty carrots for seed and a Red Clover cover crop on the rest. The Bumble bees were only two types--B. fervidus and B. centralis and they stuck to the Red Clover. The carrot flowers pulled in a wide variety of bees, wasps and flies. The Colorado Potato Beetles were in some potatoes that seemed to be volunteers, maybe leftovers from the previous year.

Larvae? Caterpillar? These things were eating what seemed to be a potato or Solanaceae species in an organic farm.

Seemed like I only saw one of these. She was patroling and zooming around with occasional stops to refuel. She stayed in the part of the field that was full of Red Clover flowers.

This is bamboo used to staking plants at an organic farm. The bees seem to be using them for homes.

Catch, chill and release for the PNW Bumble Bee Atlas Project. She was the only red-tailed bee I saw in 45 minutes. She was also only interested in the Red Clover cover crop on this organic farm.
