Finally a bumble bee ID

It's a Golden Northern Bumblebee according to SEEK or a Yellow bumble bee according to Bumble bee watch , but a Bombus fervidus either  way. I was trying to weed and deadhead the front flower beds and they were a hotbed of bee activity. Several little carpenter bees , a few green sweat bees  and honeybees and the usual bumble bees. I think I caught a quick glimpse of the woolcarder bee again but since the flowers on the bettony are almost gone it wasn't hanging around. This one did not look like your usual bumble and I took about 20 photos. Of course the ID wasn't made till SEEK looked at  the last one. Pretty amazing the way it ID"s things though. Like MERLIN with bird songs now.
