Here are a few that we have photographed so far. The problem is identifying the true bees and wasps from the pseudo ones!

Yet to be identified (on knapweed) |
 |
yet to be named - bumblebee aug 2004 on Devil's Bit Scabious.The excellent Field Guide to Bumblees gives three possibilities. It could be Bombus Terrestris, Bombus Lucorum or even Bombus Soroeensis,although it would be a bit south of its normal habitat, yet the Soroeensis is attracted to Devil's Bit Scabious. We now are wondering if this is another mimic Pocota Personata, although it would be a bit late in the year. |

This one was found on bramble in field six in September 2004. We think it is a Bombus Pascuorum, although it is similar to the Bombus Humilis, but I am only saying that so that I can call it a Humble Bumble! |
