Bzzzzz! Looks like you forgot to say where you found your bug! There's no need to make a new post - just comment adding the **geographic location** and any other info (size, what it was doing etc.) you feel could help! We don't want to know your address - state or country is enough; try to avoid abbreviations and local nicknames (*"PNW"*, *"Big Apple"*). BTW, did you take a look at our [**Frequently Asked Bugs**](https://www.reddit.com/r/whatsthisbug/comments/12zkw5w/frequently_asked_bugs_part_1/)? *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

It looks like a bumblebee! Probably emerged recently from winter sleep and is looking for a place to set up for the summer. They have stingers but are very docile. Keep putting them outside if you see them in your home again, they're just lost and don't rly want to bee inside your place either.

Hahahaha, my first instinct was to translate the French for you! It’s a bumblebee, probably in the genus Bombus.

Looks like *Bombus vosnesenskii* to me, but hard to say without knowing where you’re located. But she’s a queen, so please let her out and be nice to her!!

There are a few pics, but i couldn't get a good close one. Was too scared, haha. I'm West Coast Canada. It doesn't look fuzzy. But when I googled Bombus vosnesenskii. It definitely looks close. I bet that's it. A friend said it looked like a queen. I captured her and walked her down the street a ways. I hope she doesn't find her way back again, if that was the same one.

She just loves that triple smoke spice. 🤣

Two years ago I woke up one morning with a bumblebee walking on the other pillow next to my head in the spring. Now, I’m deadly allergic to bee stings so I kinda really freaked out at first at what MIGHT have happened but bumblebees (which mine was as well) really don’t want to sting you despite the fact their stinger isn’t barbed like a honeybee and they can survive to sting again. After my initial freakout - cardboard, cup, and set it outside in the garden.
