Tree Bumblebee

Bombus hypnorum

The tree bumblebee or new garden bumblebee is a species of bumblebee common [on] the European continent and parts of Asia. Since the start of the twenty-first century, it has spread to Great Britain and Ireland. These bumblebees prefer habitats that others do not, allowing them to pollinate flowers in areas that many other species do not get to. Source
