Mating Common Eastern Bumblebees - a photo on Flickriver

            Still not certain on identification, but at the moment, the Common Eastern Bumblebee seems to be what these bees are.  They are HUGE bees, very noticeable!  The queen is under the top bee.  Wish I could have got a better pick, but I didn’t want to disturb them, and I had a couple of heavy bags in hand too!  (Running errands, but you never know what you will encounter even doing mundane things).  Apologies for previous spelling errors, cell phone typos!
