Popular Post +Stu Posted September 29, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted September 29, 2023 I've been trying to get a picture of this guy for ages. But being nearly all black it's been a right mission! I've named it Harris as it sounds like a Lancaster compared to the other bees. +Streetbob, BAZ, +DaveJW and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 If you look at the hind legs are they red hairs on it or black hairs. I'm thinking red so it could be a Bombus ruderius. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
