Bumblebee ID help please! (1 Viewer)

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

Agree first is Common Carder Bee, Bombus pascuorum + think the other may be Garden Bumblebee, B. hortorum.

Second is a short-haired bumblebee and the third is a White-tailed Bumble bee

If you read the OP's original post he says 2 + 3 are the SAME individual.

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).

Many thanks for the ID's

Short-haired Bumblebee was also extinct in the UK until reintroduction in Kent this year
