I thought I'd see how many different bees I could find in the garden this afternoon. Apart from the horbet, which doesn't qualify, I only found four. One, a small mortar bee, had left before I could grab the camera, but here are a worker bee, a small bumble bee and a larger bumble. There is a huge one that rumbles past from time to time but I didn't see it today.

Beloved said there was a queen bee in our house this morning. Apparently, she was about 1.1/2" long.
Blimey! Never seen one of those, though I did get a swarm around my chimney in Ealing back in the '80s and rang a local beekeeper to come and catch them.
