What's black & yellow and furry all over?

A real live bumble bee :-)) I saw one in the back garden this afternoon, and "he" was soooo cute - big, fat, round and VERY furry! It was about twice the size of the normal honey bees I have seen in Oz and didn't have a stinger, so appeared very friendly.

He looked just like a sweet little bee from a cartoon or kid's story book :-D
