A tree bumblebee (Bombus hypnorum) on a canvas next to a window. The tree bumblebee was guided out of my window with the help of a canvas painting. The top part is a ginger brown with a black abdomen and white tip to the tail.

Large Tree Bumblebee (Bombus hypnorum). Not sure 🤔 if it’s a queen. It was guided outdoors with the help of a canvas painting.

Tree bumblebee perfectly still in a purple crocus flower. Yellow stamen to its right. Sun shining on the petals. It has an amber thorax and it’s so beautiful.

Think it may be fast asleep in the crocus flower.

Sun is shining on it but it’s only 13° so it had better hurry home. Nothing.

I found this Tree Bumblebee (Bombus hypnorum) nest while out filming yesterday. I didn’t realise that these bees are a recent natural arrival in the UK. First recorded in the south of England in 2001 they are slowly spreading northwards. #Teesdale #treebumblebee #bumblebee #nature #wildlife

It's the #beeday!
The #TreeBumblebee likes to nest in the holes of the trees, and also in nestboxes and in buildings. #Bumblebees have a special tool for cleaning their antennaes.

Found this #treebumblebee on my fence earlier today, it's likely still too chilly for it so I gave them some bee revive and let them be(e) #savethebees 🐝

This year we've got three #TreeBumblebee colonies in garden nestboxes, all noisily keeping themselves cool today
