The Two-spotted Bumble Bee is a common eastern bumble bee with a distinctive yellow band on its abdomen featuring two small black spots. It nests above ground in dense grass, leaf litter, or abandoned rodent nests, making it easy to accidentally disturb. It is an early emerging species and an important pollinator of spring wildflowers.
