Arctic bumblebee.
Folks I Saw the thread where are the bees.
Well here is one that I bet many didn't know existed. It is the Arctic Bumblebee AKA Bombus Polaris. A few years ago I saw these bees in the flowers growing on the tundra where I work. I was flabbergasted to see a bee that far north. I mean these things were right on the north coast of Alaska they couldn't go any farther north. I pulled out my trusty smart phone and looked them up and there they were so I read all about them. Then I went back to camp and told other people, one guy said the grubs over wintered in the hides of the caribou. I told him they lived in the tall grass and hibernated. He told me I wasnt from alaska and didnt know what I was talking about. He is the same guy that told me we didn't have a formula one race track in Austin. The guy is an idoit. That's Austin in the background. Well any who here I submit to you the Arctic Bumblebee. Read all about this amazing critter of the frozen north.

In the words of Steve Irwin, "What a little BEAUTY!". The bumblebee, I mean.
