Subject: [NatureNS] Bumble Bees

Over the past several years, I have been concentrating on photographing =
all the Bumble Bees of NS. This goal was inspired by a file received =
from David McCorquodale which presented illustrations on how to identify =
them (to a degree). There are 9 species of "regular" bumble bees & 3 =
"cuckoo" species in NS. To date I have photographed 7 regular & 2 cuckoo =
species. I have posted about 35 or so photos to illustrate the =
difficulty of identifying them from photos. Very few of them can be =
identified in a straightforward manner (at least by me). Other than the =
first five photos, all have been reviewed by several experts. With a few =
photos there was no consensus. They can be viewed here:
