Title: My VistaPrint Electronic Business Card

Hello,

 

I was helping to planting annuals and saw a bee-kind of a cross between a bumble bee and a honey bee crawling from mulch to plant, it had a orangey brown hairy thorax and wondered if anyone had a good bee  ID site.

It was slow moving, but it was 58-60, and may have been a ground dwelling bee; only saw 2 and it was not aggressive.

 

thanks
