| | | Sorry, it's Bees this time
I don't normally bother with Bees but there are so many in the garden at the moment I though I would photograph them. They don't stay still for long though do they.
Any help with identification would be appreciated.

Evening Dai,
I'd say number 1 is a honeybee but will await more expert views for the others.

Evening Dai,
Dave is correct on the first - Honeybee, Apis mellifera. The second is one of the Red-tailed Bumblebees, Bombus lapidarius and the next is a faded Common Carder-bee, Bombus pascuorum.
Can't help with the other two.
Take care, Jason  |

The last one is definitely Bombus terrestris, second to last probably is too (other than B. lucorum which I doubt.)
