Description
If an observation you submitted was classified as a two striped bumble bee, it means we are unable to determine the species but that it belongs to a small group including B. vagans, B. sandersoni, and B. perplexus. The first two abdominal segments are yellow and the rest of the abdomen will be black, giving the general name "two striped bumble bee." Although there are subtle characteristics that differentiate these three species, they are often difficult to see in photographs.
