I took this on the way back from the beach. I've seen this type of bumble bee flying around for a while now, but just never had the opportunity to get off a few shots. I think it's called the Black Bumble Bee. He's very large, about 1.5 inches long, and interested only in gathering pollen. He didn't seem to be bothered by me or my camera getting up close and personal with him. That's good because bees and their stingers make me a bit nervous. It stems from a run-in with some not so distant relations in the not so distant past.....
