Volucella zonaria:
Hi,
I was sent the attached photograph by the Sec of North Cheshire Beekeepers. A beekeeper from Upton in Chester found it by her beehive and killed it thinking it was a Hornet!
It looks like Volucella zonaria? What do you think?
Cheers,
Paul

Yep, I'd go with that, Paul - Volucella zonaria. Very nice find (though a sad demise).
