[OM] IMG: Black-and-Gold Bumble Bee and Carpenter Bee

[Jim Nichols]

After the rain stopped, I took a different camera and lens to the Rose 
of Sharon bush and observed the bees. Though they never pose, I'm 
convinced that the one I have been seeing is a Black-and-Gold Bumble Bee.

For comparison, I also captured a more common  Carpenter Bee.
