| |  2 Bees for ID
Good Afternoon folks,
Please could someone help me ID this bumble-bee I photographed half an hour ago? It was found in my garden in Norfolk and was over 20mm in size, I was thinking along the lines of Psithyrus vestalis.
Bee 1:  
I also decided to throw this picture in that I took last year at some point in the hopes of a genus ID. It was a tiny little bee and it is sitting on a blackberry flower.
Bee 2: 
Thanks!
