Two-spotted Bumblebee
Bombus bimaculatus
The adult two-spotted bumblebee visits spring and summer flowers in meadows, gardens, forest edges, and other open habitats across eastern North America. It drinks nectar for energy and gathers pollen to feed developing larvae, often flying between blooms with quick, direct movements. Females can sting in defense of themselves or the nest, but they are generally focused on foraging rather than aggression. A notable fact is that this species can buzz-pollinate certain flowers by vibrating its flight muscles to shake pollen loose.
