Vestal Cuckoo Bee (Bombus (Psithyrus) vestalis) ?
Hello All,
Whilst out on a site on Monday (22/06/2015) I managed to get an image of a rather annoyed bee just before it made a break for it. It is, I think, the Vestal Cuckoo Bee, but I am no expert on the matter so I thought I would ask for assistance on our forum.
I am afraid this is the only image I could get and it was taken on my phone, but I would hope it will allow for a positive ID.
Many thanks,
Eric
