My middle son's girlfriend knitted it. Is it a honey bee, or a murder hornet? :grin:
Whatever it is, I wouldn't want to be stung by it.
Based on its large size and round fuzziness, I conclude it to be some sort of bumble bee. After diligently scouring BugGuide for the past 4 hours, I conclude the species is Bombus knitidensis. :wink: :cheesy:
I have seen a species similar, perhaps Apis knitidensis. There were a few photos of its life cycle...

Your research skills are commendable in acquiring such detailed photographs of this rare insect's life cycle. :cheesy: Seriously though, that is some awesome amigurumi.
Thanks for the laugh, beeks!
