Bumble bee (Bombus ternarius) on joe-pye weed

The lovely big heads of the joe-pye weed (Eupatorium purpureum) are attracting many insects these days. We grow both types of joe-pye weed in the Backyard Garden (BYG), the other being E. maculatum which is the one native to this area. This bumble bee is variously called red-banded or red-belted bumble bee.
