i was trying to figure out the sex of my bumblebee (because you know im like reckless that way and would handle a bee wtihout knowing whether or not they could sting me), and was having no luck finding good shots of the hindlegs for pollen baskets
found a thing about antennae characters though and i think i can pretty comfortably say it was probably female from that
dont know this species and dont know this region but apparently male black tailed bumblebees are active now
anyway
she was another marshmallow type; sadly i cant take her with me
