Bombus alpinus L.
Weird insect, bigger than an European honey bee (for a 1/4 of bee size) but bee usually attacks it.. is like they are competitive for the territory, I was really trying to document this attacks but they were too fast. Btw bumblebees are even bigger but didn't compete in this fights and bees don't attack them.
Often found in Austria, France, Germany, Romania, and Switzerland. Eurasia.
