My buzz has buzzed off and my wings are wet. I wonder what type of bumble I'd be? Big bottomed flappy bee? Big Grin
What do you think? Common carder bee or moss carder bee?

I think moss. It’s very ginger on top  Smile
Could it even be Forest cuckoo bumblebee as it doesn't seem t have any pollen sacs, though they might just bee empty I suppose.
Fantastic photos, SC. You should send them to the Bumblebee Society - maybe they'd identify it for you too.Wink
Having looked at countless photos, I'm guessing Moss Carder bee https://www.bumblebeeconservation.org/gi...arder-bee/
