Definitely one of the coolest bees I've ever seen. There were a few of these on the phacelia. I didn't check all the different phacelia plants for them but one of the plants had several on them.

Van Dyke's Bumble Bee (Bombus vandykei)Observer
domingozungriDescription
This is definitely a bumble bee, not a carpenter bee. It has corbiculae filled with pollen, a relatively small head, and a fuzzy abdomen. Best guess is that this an all-black color morph of Bombus vandykei.

Near Utica reservoir. Foraging on swamp onion. Could possibly be bombus californicus but I felt they tend to have more of a solid “mane” than this guy- please correct me if my ID is wrong
