Not a good photographic angle, but I believe it to be a male Bombus Lucorum.

Harry

Thanks. Whilst I agree about the angle, it seemed way paler than the Bombus Lucorum I know. The majority of the bee seemed to be pale yellow. It was also much larger than the Bombus Lucorum/terrestris that were nearby.

Having said that, I'm certainly no expert, which is why I'm asking I guess.
