Not sure about the identity, hope it is correct. Taken in the garden on a very dull day.

Hi Kim, can't help with the ID but it looks a lot like the Bees that are using my nest box ,you have got some very nice detail and I do like the colour of the flower and the BG.

Great capture, Kim. It looks like a tree bee, Bombus hypnorum, though. Beautiful bees, a welcome visitor to my garden.
