What pictures and information on the Hawaiian bumble bee is available?

Hawaiian bumble bees are not native to the islands. There are many different species worldwide and Hawaii probably has a combination of imported bees. The interesting thing about this population of bees is that they are free from Varroa mite parasites that plague the continental US and, so, available for export as pollinators.

Is there any difference between them and a regular bumble bee?
