Queen Buff-tailed Bumblebee (Bombus terrestris)

Queen Buff-tailed Bumblebee (Bombus terrestris) PHOTO 1 of 2: I believe this to be a Queen but do know this species can be large anyway!, She stayed on this sunflower for a long time. At first I thought she was dead but on closer inspection there was slight movement. Out of curiosity I went back again this morning and she was on the same sun flower but I had a shock, which you will see in the next photo. I hope someone can help to identify the problem!
