Dear T.walker,
This Bumble Bee is so distinctive, we quickly found this Art by Tereska site with an illustration that includes the Red Tailed Bumble Bee, Bombus lapidarius. According to Bumblebee.org, it: “is probably the most easily recognised species with its black body and bright orange tail.” According to Nature Spot: “Fairly common in Britain and have expanded northwards to include Scotland.”
