I spent some time observing the 'orange' bumblebees today. I didn't see any of the small ones that were not male bees so it's looking like a lot of the male Bombus huntii here are just really small.
Here's a medium to large sized huntii on a pink zinnia.

This is probably a Bombus huntii like this morning but it is half the size or smaller. 20mm vs 10mm. It is a male, skinny legs no pollen basket.
There's lots of these small orange ones around. I guess the size can be variable based on how much food the larvae get. The large ones could be well fed female workers that were out when the sun set I guess.

I noticed Bombus huntii snoozing on this hollyhock seed pod this morning. I moved a finger in to check for life and he kicked up a leg to wave me off.

Bumblebees on the catnip and the oregano. There were other small bees but they are camera shy.

The purple coneflowers have more bees on them lately. Maybe more nectar with the cooler weather which was below 86F or 30C for 3 out of the last 5 days. 108f/42C by Friday. 🌡️ ☀️
