Mystery Bee late October

[brianholland]

This busy chap was avidly working on a lobelia shrub but while I can eliminate what it is not identifying it escapes me.

Can anyone please jhelp?

Thank you,

Brian.

Difficult to be certain from that photo but I would hazzard a guess at Bombus pascuorum.

They are one of the early and late flying bees. And can be around as late as November during mild spells.
