They’re like regular bees except noticeably bumble-y. Hope this helps!

They essentially look like a toy version of a bee. And are amazing.

Body shape, banding pattern, and colours are generally how you'd identify a bee. I'm not an expert but if I had to guess I'd say it looks like a buff-tailed bumblebee.
