After a lot of searching and consultation, and a little bit of luck,
Aram and I have concluded that my mystery bees are actually
Black-and-Gold Bumble Bees (Bombus nevadaensis auricomus). I got two
more clear images today, and will post them to close out the
discussion. Thanks to all who have participated in the discussions.
