We have them here too.
Scared silly of them but they are at least pretty,

Good catch Colin. Bumblebees are fascinating creatures.

No need to be scared of them porshiepoo, they tend not to be too interested in humans - once they realise you're not a flower they fly off. You might find the info here interesting -http://www.bumblebeeconservationtrus...bumblebees.pdf
