Yellow-faced bumblebee
The yellow-faced bumblebee (''Bombus vosnesenskii'') is a species of bumblebee native to the west coast of North America, where it distributed from British Columbia to Baja California.〔(''Bombus vosnesenskii''. ) NatureServe. 2012.〕 It is the most abundant species of bee in this range, and can be found in both urban and agricultural areas.〔 ''B. vosnesenskii'' is also utilized as an important pollinator in commercial agriculture, especially for greenhouse tomatoes.
== Taxonomy and phylogeny ==
The genus name Bombus – the bumblebee – comes from the Latin word which means a buzzing or humming sound. There are 250 species split into 38 subgenera within the genus Bombus. These subgroups share similar morphologies, despite their varied habitats and behavioral patterns. However, many of the groups are monophyletic based on the distinct genitalia of the male bee. Genetic studies have revealed the bumblebee to be closely related to the sting-less bee and the honey bee.
''Bombus vosnesenskii'' falls into the Bombus subgenus Pyrobombus. Bombus subgenera contain two primary morphological categories, short-faced and long-faced. Pyrobombus is included in the short-faced clade.
The Pyrobombus subgenus is both monophyletic and the largest of the subgenera.
