It's that time of year when male bumblebees start to appear. You can often tell if a bumblebee in Scotland is male because they have a bright yellow moustache like the one you can see on male red-tailed bumblebee I photographed in Glasgow.

The Red-tailed bumblebee (Bombus lapidarius) is one of our 'Big 8' bumblebees meaning it is common and widespread throughout the UK 🐝
Queens and workers are all black except for their red tails while the males have some yellow facial hair and a yellow band on the thorax.
