| Shrill Carder Bumblebee (Bombus sylvarum) |
I saw my first Shrill Carder today in a nice area near the Port Talbot docks next to the river Avon. Thanks go to Elen Richards who discovered this population last year. I only saw one bee today which was a male but the species is so named after the workers that can be heard to give a "shrill buzz" when flying between flowers whilst foraging.

Following the comment below I realise that I've made a very basic mistake with the identity of this bee. As mentioned in the comments the bee is B. pascuorum.

This is Bombus pascuorum.
Thanks for letting me know. Apologies to the rest for the misidentification. Hopefully I can put this right and find the real McCoy.
OMG!! What was I thinking, it's not even close! On the plus side now I've got a photo of a pale B. pascuorum. Hmmm...
I must admit that I find bee id very difficult this time of year. I photographed some bees on Sea Holly today and still pondering over one or two!
It's very easy to get stung by them that's for certain!
