I popped into the Suffolk garden at the end of a hot day and found this bumblebee in the echinaceas – wonderful!
Now we need to identify the bumble bee. Have just signed up to Bumblebee conservation Trust and there’s a link for photographers! Maybe a buff tailed one. I can’t believe there’s so many types, about 26 in UK. Lovely shots.
Thanks for this! Readers, please help identify the bumblebee!
Have bee told there is a bee app to download! I’m never going to be able to look at a bumblebee again and just go ahhh!
Neither will I! Thank you for visiting! Do post app
Beautiful!!
dear candy,
what lovely pictures 🙂 so cute. although i am by no means an expert, i tried to identify the bumble bee and think that this is a “Bombus vestalis”, in english that might be “vestal cuckoo bumblebee”. anyone agree?
I think you may be correct. This site is helpful. Thank you for helping.
