Large bumble bee [Bombus lucorum] having a wonderful time in the cherry blossom.

Rosa rugosa 'alba' with added Bombus lucorum [white-tailed bumble bee]. As happened several times this summer, I heard the distinctive "buzz" of a large bee working in the roses. After some exploring and careful watching I found her in this barely open flower. Just as well I found her when I did, because she flew off after this one, having filled her leg pouches.

Finally caught one of the bumble bees landing on the lip of a foxglove. [further identity info to follow : foxglove - Digitalis purpurea and the other leaves are from Rosa rugosa bee is a Bombus lucorum , the white-tailed bumble bee]
