Bumble Bees {Central MN Photographer}

It was a breezy day, so that made macro a little hard, but I managed to get a few lucky shots of the bumble bees in my flower gardens.  I really never payed any attention until now that bumble bees are not just black and yellow.  I photographed one little guy who had orange stripes.  I had to google bumble bee colors and species and found that the orange stripes can even be at the end of their body.  It is cool to see them all loaded up with pollen.  I was hoping to see a big ole fat bee in my coneflowers, but no such luck.
