Though the bee of which I posted a photo today is not a Bumble Bee, it
has been called by that name. According to what I can find, it is a
form of Eastern Carpenter Bee which has greenish, somewhat translucent
eyes instead of the normal black eyes. The scientific name is Xylocopa
Virginica. Here is a copy of the link:
