I’ve seen a couple of Buff-tailed bumblebees (Bombus terrestris) but didn’t manage to get photos of those, so I was delighted yesterday to find a Red-tailed bumblebee (Bombus lapidarius), which was so busy feasting on the pollen of willow catkins that it stayed still for some pics.

Yes, several times over the last couple of weeks. Unsure of the species, but large and with a red backside.

Like this one then? Several species are now out and about though – lucky you to have seen a good number!

Yes, looks similar as far as I can tell, but I’m not very knowledgeable about bees.
