A bumblebee looking straight at the camera, standing on a leaf with bright light coming from behind. The hair around the head is yellow and black.

In this picture, the bumblebee has turned to the side, giving us a better full view of the largest pair of eyes.

I saw my first bumblebee of the year on the farm today. Even with a relatively warm day, they were understandably sluggish. There are a few small flowers about, so I hope they can find something to eat.

Those eyes. That hair. Iconic.
