There are a number of Bombus species that are mostly black. Some have a bit of red on the rear which can be hard to spot too. Not all bumble bees are aposematically marked. Most of the black species are more southern in distribution, granted, but why would GM crops have such an effect?

Melanism too is known in many invertebrate species
