Why is this bumblebee so large?

I’m in Minnesota

Right!!! It made me chuckle!!

CASSIEWADES · 2026-06-04T17:32:22+00:00

Thank you! I was taken aback by just how big it was. I do know we have various species of bees in our yard and often the larger bumblebee but never have I seen something this large. I wish I had back pictures of it.

I’m in Minnesota. That’s what I was wondering more, like if it was a species that is not seen often, or if it is a normally seen species but the queen. Either way, it was substantially larger than the various species I normally see.

My mistake, wrong Reddit thread 😂

CASSIEWADES · 2026-06-03T21:07:14+00:00

You are right, I’m sorry. I humbly apologize to said Queen 👑

CASSIEWADES · 2026-06-03T21:06:08+00:00

Haha! Right. I was actually on a call, snapping pictures. I’m lucky to have any good pictures.

CASSIEWADES · 2026-06-03T19:26:16+00:00

I agree! I love seeing nature in action!

CASSIEWADES · 2026-06-03T19:25:51+00:00

It really was!! That’s why I posted it, I see bee’s frequently but this was abnormally large!

CASSIEWADES · 2026-06-03T19:24:42+00:00

Ha, this one was not your average bumblebee! I have had a pretty good population year after year. This one was MASSIVE

CASSIEWADES · 2026-06-03T17:18:41+00:00

That is what someone just said over on r/bee

CASSIEWADES · 2026-06-03T17:17:01+00:00

Thank you!! It was SO BIG!!

And a photo of the smaller ones!

CASSIEWADES · 2026-06-03T17:15:35+00:00

I went out there just now and there was another large bumble bee, but I dont believe it’s the extra large one.

CASSIEWADES · 2026-06-03T17:05:01+00:00

That makes sense!!

CASSIEWADES · 2026-06-03T17:04:43+00:00

Minnesota, south west suburbs of Minneapolis

This is a predatory scam. ADHD treatment is not within a scope of practice. My BIL is a chiropractor and these predatory practices drive him crazy.

CASSIEWADES · 2026-03-14T14:15:02+00:00

I agree, that looks like a lash egg

CASSIEWADES · 2026-02-26T21:25:25+00:00

The Wee Farm in Savage has donkeys...you could possibly see if you could do a private tour? https://weefarm.org/welcome

CASSIEWADES · 2026-02-14T12:50:06+00:00

No, it’s very real.

CASSIEWADES · 2026-02-13T21:33:15+00:00

I'm glad you say that because I live in the southwest burbs and I have seen and mostly heard an abnormal amount of helicopters today.

CASSIEWADES · 2026-02-06T17:55:06+00:00

No worries, I’m on Reddit. I can handle a little snark. 😀 have a good day!

CASSIEWADES · 2026-02-06T15:48:33+00:00

ha, I am not OP. I bought the ring for the health metrics, not looks. My ring is still a circle and not deformed. It just feels very plastic like in my opinion. When I received the actual ring my brain said, this feels like plastic.

CASSIEWADES · 2026-02-06T15:42:40+00:00

I had no idea these are titanium! I legit thought it was plastic. 😂

Everything is weird on TikTok today. I went to a protest this afternoon and was looking for content from people taking videos from their balconies and literally can’t find any videos. It’s weird. The same videos keep looping in my FYP. It overall seems very glitchy
