I think this is a male
I didnt get a picture that showed colour of hair on face (males have some yellow hairs)
I think the back leg is different from worker leg but I am not good at seeing the specific difference
Certainly it looks more shaggy and more yellow than a typical worker and more like the pictures I see of males.
Trying hard to get better at bumble bees.
A red-tailed bumblebee queen fuelling up on a geranium flower in the garden. This a large bee - nearly as big as a buff-tailed bumblebee queen - has spent a lot of time searching the garden before nesting in an old wood mouse burrow.
This bumblebee was a surprise (for me) late season sighting in the garden. I have seen the species earlier in the year but that was months ago. The bee looks fresh so must be a second emergence and therefore is either a queen or a drone.I suspect the latter, but I'm not sure.
2,2 2,4 centimeter length.
Bombus confusus. Last 2 segments are yellow. But can't find something with this white mark...
Found in Vence, Alpes-Maritimes, France (Nearby Nice, Cannes). Mediterranean climate. Height : 317 m N: 43°43.53 E 7°06.66.
A garden bumblebee feeding on apple blossom in Port Sunlight River Park.
This species is characterised by a long face and tongue, which can be seen clearly in this shot.
This male tree bumble bee was hanging around a nest that is somewhere in the middle of the garden Japanese anemone patch. Unlike the specimen posted previously he has managed to keep his hair on. He is furrier than the workers and has some brown hairs an his abdomen whereas they are all black.
I've tried to design my garden so there is something to interest pollinating insects for as much as the year as possible. Now as October heads towards November the interest comes from several patches of Kaffir Lilies plus a Mahonia shrub.
This shot shows one of the Mahonia flower racemes feeding a tree bumblebee queen. She was one of four bee species on the bush, including some enormous Bombus terrestris queens. I was surprised to see her as I thought tree bumblebee season finished weeks ago, but apparently queens are seen well into winter.

I think this was, perhaps, a Queen. It was so large.

A cuckoo bumblebee feeding on hemp agrimony at New Ferry Butterfly Park. Could possibly be Bombus bohemicus - the difference largely comes down to the shade of yellow on the thorax - but B vestalis is more commonly reported from the Wirral.
Front garden, Lavender bushes this time but with a twist, the red door panel of our Mini beyond gives a different background to the usual green. It sort of works.........;)
After escaping from Portugal I've been keeping myself occupied photographing and recording (iRecord) the bird and insect life in the garden.
This buff-tailed bumblebee queen looking for a nest site was one of three bumblebee species noted. The others were the red-tailed bumblebee and tree bumblebee.
