Bumblebees - The Garden Bumblebee

First seen on Friday 29th March 2019 at Croome

The main way I identify bees is by the colour pattern. This one, the Garden Bumblebee, has three clear colour bands - a yellow neck, a yellow waist and a white tail. This very large one was probably a queen, as it was still quite early in the year (March).
