ForestDragon, (lovely name!) thank you for your help. Unfortunately this was the only view it allowed me.

RSR, this lovely, fuzzy bee is a Bumblebee from Genus Bombus. Do you have any more views? Bumblebees can often be identified by the color and pattern on the abdomen. http://bugguide.net/node/view/3077/bgpage
