Bombus terrestris
This bumblebee was busy flying from one plum tree full of blossom to another yesterday. It is one of the main bumblebee species in Europe. The worker bees have a white rump like their close relative the White-Tailed Bumblebee, but have much darker yellow bands around their bodies.
Their nest sites are usually underground, often an abandoned mouse burrow.
