Buff Tailed Bumblebee and Mite

Not the greatest photo of  a Buff Tailed Bumblebee (I think I am right about species) taken at the end of March, but when I looked at it closely, there was a little rider on its back....
 
....A Mite.
Not uncommon, but the first I have seen since I saw several on a queen Red Tailed Bumblebee.
