Back half of August

We are in the back half of August, and the community has added 3 BB species to the South Dakota Inaturalist list, included Western Bumble bee. Thanks to everyone who is actively taking photos, and looking for that one bee that seems just a little bit different. Bumble bees shiver, allowing them to raise their body temperature and remain active when it is too cold for other species. If you are out early in the morning, the bees will allow you to get VERY close for photos. Please remember to get several angles, including the top of the abdomen, the full face, if possible, and a good side view with legs included. Have fun, and keep posting those quality photos!!
