Description

This small bumblebee is evidently pretty new to Iceland, and 'found mainly in urban areas'...

That fits here: a fair sized town with a number of geothermal heated greenhouses. Most of these are used to cultivate flowers.

Got no pix; but I'm pretty sure I also saw one at Lake Myvatn-- a place mainly famous for ducks, fish and clouds of tiny dipterans.
