Thank you Forest Dragon for the ID and the link.

Either Bombus vosnesenskii, Yellow-faced Bumblebee: http://bugguide.net/node/view/19538 or Bombus caliginosus. I am not sure of the differences so I am leaving it at that. I think there might be habitat and range differences. http://bugguide.net/node/view/347459 (scroll down for descriptions of range and physical differences). Hope this helps!
