| | | Massive bumblebee for ID
  
This huge bumblebee landed in a very inaccessible place so the photos I got aren't very good. I think it might be up there with the biggest bees I've ever seen (though bear in mind I'm very inexperienced). Does its large size mean it's a queen? Please can someone identify it for me.
Thanks Paul |
