Uncertain of the species for this one! Taken in Kent near the coast in June. Definative identification not possible from this photograph. pascorum cxan be ruled out though by the lack of black hairs on the abdomen apparently!

That's a great photo Gill



Could be Common Carder Bee - Bombus agrorum. Not 100% sure though!

It could be B. muscorum... or B. humilis. Could you give a few clues such as where (as accurately as poss) and full habitat details? Thanks

I bet you only said that so I'd have to look the word up in my dictionary!



It's all the same to me though
