Bumblebee ID help please! (1 Viewer)

You've all got one...............!
Hi,

Any help on the Bumblebees in the attached images very much appreciated. I assume the first one is likely to be a Common Carder, though it was tiny; the remaining two (same individual) I think fits White-tailed Bumblebee better than anything else?

Regards
T

1st: B. pascuorum
2nd: Can't see head - if it was long, B. hortorum; if it was short, possibly B. jonellus (a heath/moor species).
3rd: B. terrestris.
(2 & 3 are definitely different bees).
