Hunt\u2019s Bumblebee: Randall Davey Audubon Center, Santa Fe, New Mexico, July 2026 \u2014 In the gardens at Randall Davey, I met a visiting bee lady from the upper Midwest who was in western bee heaven, and who was eager to give me a lesson on the varieties of bees we were observing in the garden plants. I was happy to let her. Most were Western Honeybees, of course, but there were at least three other varieties, including this striking male Hunt\u2019s with its bright orange muff. She was really excited about the Hunt\u2019s. I became more so as she talked. Sony a6700. Sigma 16-300 Contemporary at about 500mm equivalent field of view crop. Program with insect modifications.
