Your bee is a Common Carder Bumble Bee Bombus pascuorum. At this time of year they are really bright and gingery red.
Reading your post this morning made me go and check the PurpleMonsters that grow up by our weir...
they are there...
in profusion this year....
then I noticed the field behind them....
covered in Snake's-head Fritillaries...
thank you for making me go and look!!
I'll go round there tomorrow and take some pix...
I'll also check out the PurpleMeanies by the Moulin Neuf...
major treework has gone on just there in recent weeks...
the colony may have been damaged...!!
