Bumblebee

I went out to take a photo of my next door neighbours naughty tom-cat, but he slunk away when he saw the camera.

I tried to get a shot of the baby blue-tits but they wouldn't come out of their bush because of the naughty tom-cat.

So here's another bee. Is it a white tail or common? I think it's a female because Kate Humble says males don't collect pollen and this one has pollen sacs. Also it was buzzing about a lot and boy bees are LAZY apparently!

So. A queen garden bumblebee, on their favourite plant, foxglove.
