My wife unintentionally found these a week before this picture was taken and was stung 3 times. I'm not a bee expert, but I swear I see ~3 different species, B. ternarius being one of them? Any thoughts? I'll repost the images for separate species.

Watched this bee excavating pith from the stalk of a live goldenrod. Concave gray-tipped T6 and deep tergal grooves raise intriguing possibility of M. montivaga. Will monitor and see if she brings leaves or petals back to nest!
Update: my wife and I saw a bee exiting this hole the following day. That bee is shown here: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/86512511

Dozens of these in a large sandy area flying close to the ground. The area was scattered with holes in the sand, both level with the ground and in cones. Appeared they could have recently emerged from these borrows.

On sunflower. I can’t find any bumble bees that are known to be in Alberta to have this colouration. The closest one in Alberta would be Bombus insularis, however, this bumble bee looks very similar to Bombus variabilis!
