What kind of bee is that? I'm assuming it's not run of the mill bee

Its a bumblebee

A female buff-tailed bumblebee if I had to hazard a guess based on the stripe colours/pattern.

Thanks for the guess! I looked into it briefly and I just about went cross-eyed with all the different patterns! I was just curious about it because she is so fluffy.

Since you bee, is this a queen?

Could be at this size, but I'm not 100% sure.
