Bee species in the garden
I need to buy a better book on bees. I think there are at least four and possibly five bumble bee species that visit the garden, plus honey bees. However, my current book lists only four species: Bombus lapidarus (I managed to rescue a queen from drowning down one of the drains); black with an orange tip, B. lurcorum, yellow strips with a white tip; B terrestris orange strips with a white/buff tip; and B. pratorum, yellow strips with an orange tip; and one other with yellow and brown tips
