What are the odds of this?

You said the bee was black ? Never saw a black bee before. Well, at least
you didn't need that 2nd cup of coffee this morning.

Well, it looked like this -

An average every day typical black bumble bee with yellow on it, but it was mixed in with her ear hair and all I saw at first was the black. Actually my first thought was that it was a spider. Remember I was only halfway through my cup of coffee. Didn't really need the second half after all of the excitement but I drank it anyway - not to "rev my motor" but because it tasted good.

Looks even scarier up close. I don't do well anywhere around bees.
Most of our bees,in mid to late summer, or smaller brownish ones.
