WE sure do. These are Golden Northern Bumblebees or I think your's is. They do a mighty job and I have seen a number of them here each day. I am also seeing increasing numbers of honey bees. A couple of hummingbirds and lots of other pollinating animals.
What a spectacular shot!! You can even see all the little veins(?) on his wings. That's so beautiful. It is very troubling that so many bees are disappearing these days. We don't realize how important they are until they start to disappear.
Blue Bell Hill, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States
Dan Allen lives in Philadelphia's Blue Bell Hill neighborhood. He eats a lot of cheese, drinks a lot of beer, and thinks that you should too. He also loves to write and talk about these and other things pertaining to good food and drink. As much as possible, he follows a locavore life style, meaning that most of what he eats, drinks, and writes about is local to Philadelphia and environs. (By the way, he tends to go on and on about all this, so unless you have a lot of time on your hands, it's best that you not get him started.)

Nice photograph, Dan.
I love bees! I am working on a post about CCD, and have been for some time.......doing quite a bit of research on the little bugger :o)
