Bombus fraternus is a relatively uncommon species of bumblebee native to the United States east of the Rocky Mountains. It is most often encountered in the Southeast, in areas with sandy soil. It is unusual among Bombus species in having the hairs of the body appressed against the body surface rather than "fluffy" as is true for nearly all other species.
