I always use the "I think" get out clause(just in case) but it looks right to me

I'm no expert but I'm 99% certain it is hypnorum. It was first found near Southampton which is near me. They are now very common around here. According to BWARS it has been found as far north as Northumberland and South Wales.
Bumblebee conservation trust (BBCT) are tracking the spread of the bee along with BWARS. They would be interested in your finding. Have you seen the Tree Bee? http://www.bwars.com/Files%204%20dow..._infosheet.pdf |
