Bumble Bee Queen? I noticed her on the way home. I couldn't get a better shot unfortunately as she was in someone else's garden! I believe she was a queen given her huge size, definitely bigger than the other bumble bees I took photos of tonight.  Bombus terrestris,Geotagged,Summer,United Kingdom Click/tap to enlarge

"Bombus terrestris", the buff-tailed bumblebee or large earth bumblebee, is one of the most numerous bumblebee species in Europe. It is one of the main species used in greenhouse pollination, and so can be found in many countries and areas where it is not native, such as Tasmania.
