    Default Bumblebee - Bombus pascuorum

    Having a nice sit down on warm metal a couple of weeks ago - if it were in the last few days he'd be wet and cold

    He's a handsome chap, you're right about the weather, although it has been relatively warm today, even up on the roof.

    According to what I read the other day, Bumblebees can be sexed by checking their antennae.

    If they have 'elbows' they're female. If they are straight or maybe just a wee bit bent, they're males.

    So I guess this Bee is a female? (That's why she's so good looking, Rolf! )

    Great photo with wonderful detail, Louise!

    LOL - when I was typing the comment I automatically typed 'he' I then thought "should I check whether it really is a male" and decided that no-one would bother... trust you, Catherine - troublemaker
