Bees

I almost forgot: I saw honey bees this weekend in our yard! Last year I only spotted bumblebees! Yay!

Share your knowledge, oh wise one. How does a mere novice tell the difference?

Basically, bumblebees are bigger and have a different stripe pattern... maybe I can get a link to a pic...

Oh, and the reason why I'm thrilled is because of colony collapse disorder. Local honey has become very expensive, and as I said, I saw no honeybees last year in my yard.
