| | | uncertain about white tailed bumblebees Could someone look at these images and let me know if this is Bombus vestalis or something else? The first 2 images are the same individual, the 3rd is another. I thought I had these sorted out in my mind but the 20 odd different bumbles on the same lavender bush yesterday has thrown any confidence I had at identifying simple bumbles out of the window!
