I have had a lot of auricomus in my garden the past week. This bee seems slightly smaller. I definitely see some yellow on T1. The thorax is yellow, black band, and a wide yellow band. This last yellow band is much more obvious than the auricomus yellow fringe...but it has yellow hair on vertex, so guess I will go with Black-and-gold
These gorgeous bumblebees are really enjoying my monarda. Hard to keep count!
