Nevada Bumblebee

Bombus nevadensis is a large bumble bee with short, even hair. The face is predominantly black and there is not a strong band of black hairs between the wings-- either the black band has many yellow hairs intermixed or the band is reduced to a black circle in the middle. Abdominal T2 and T3 (and usually T1) are yellow while the sides of the thorax are predominantly black.
