Bumble Bee Identification

Hello to all 5 followers!

I am learning a bunch about BB ID. For instance, Brown-belted BBs have "short, uniform hair on their heads and abdomens, while two-spotted have long and uneven hair. That, and brown-belted can have defined spots on their abdomen, but often they are clearly separated, while two-spotted bb have the "W" pattern on their abdomen without clean separation of the "spots". Sorry if I ramble here, but just trying to improve my ID skills.

Very useful information - I am also just starting to learn about IDing bumblebees. It's been fun - and I'm looking forward to a summer full of seeing them buzz around!
