Found this one enjoying my Monarda fistulosa this morning. Very pretty. I wonder what kind it is?

Do you think it is the same as these? I just had mine identified by a bee keeper as Bumble bees. He told me honey bees are slim and all gold.

Looks like a regular honey bee to me; their markings actually are quite variable among different subspecies...
