12th May 2024 - Andy M spotted a couple of smaller-sized bumblebees busy collecting nectar from a clump of Green Alkanet on Granta Park. Not immediately recognising the species, he took a couple of photos and found out later that they were Early Bumblebee workers. As their name suggests, they are one of the first species to emerge from hibernation, and one of the smallest, commonly found in gardens.
