Breathe In And Out...

A birthday bee for me

Today is my Xth birthday, where X is a number that's getting too high to contemplate! I took the day off work and spent it with my wee family unit, having a fun day. I also took time to photograph bumblebees in my garden and today the garden was alive with them. Now, apart from the 'big 4', buff-tailed, white-tailed, garden and red-tailed bumblebees, I find identification of them quite challenging. My garden was full of these bees today and I am quite sure that this a male Early Bumblebee, Bombus pratorum. The yellow banding, the faded reddish tail and the yellow face led me to this identification. I'm happy to be corrected though!
