Bombus hortorum
Very active, energetic, rapidly looking for food, checked same location several times. It politely left the flower the other unwell bee I was looking after (bombus terrestris) was on. Checking a second time, it brushed the ailing bombus terrestris as if to check up on it. Bombus terrestris stirred briefly.
Garden
This bee preferred the cream, pollen rich flowers in our garden that are on the photo. It did feed from lots more flowers too eg. some pink blossom.
