Western Bumble Bee
By A Mystery Man Writer

Historically broadly distributed in western North America. Bombus occidentalis occurs along the Pacific coast and western interior of North America, from Arizona, New Mexico and California, north through the Pacific Northwest and into Alaska. Eastward, the distribution stretches to the northwestern Great Plains and southern Saskatchewan.
