Red-Tailed Bumble Bee - Bombus lapidarius

I spotted this lovely Red-Tailed Bumblebee – Bombis – landing on the flower of a Perennial Wallflower – Erysimum linifolium and just managed to grab a shot before he buzzed away to new flowers. The Bee can be distinguished by the (only just visible) yellow facial hair. Seen at Martin Mere.
