Sick Bumblebee, please help

So my guy decided to pick up a sickly Bumblebee and try to rescue him to good health :). I was curious is it normal when a snake becomes darker or loses color that it is getting sick? This bumblebee looks dark brown where it should have a light brown to orange/yellow color.

if you like here is a picture of him, he is also a 2010 bumblebee not a 2011

and this is our 2011 bumblebee that isn't sick

I noticed that our 2011 bumblebee is becoming darker the more he sheds. But he isn't at all the color of the 2010. So I'm just curious to whether if a massive color change is bad or not

thank you

I don't believe the brown is from being sick, it just appears to be a low quality bee. Good luck with nursing back to health, be sure to quarantine. :gj:

Yeah I went to go pick him up because my guy is at work. We need to set up a quarantine section, we don't really have one set up yet in the house. But as I know we have a tub and a heating source prepared the living room till we get a rack :)
