Centaurea montana 'Jordy'

A bit late for #wildlifewednesday

But lovely

Difficult to make out if he has a white bum, possibly a Tree bumblebee. Beautiful contrasting photo against the almost black flower. Great photo

Thanks @solly1961 - if I zoom in I can see a bit of white at the end

Great, distinguishing features of ginger thorax common bees and between a Tree bumblebee and a common carder bee is the lack of a white bum 😊

First of Jordy to appear. I think ideally likes full sun but does OK here with a few hours a day. 11th May, 2019

Ohh my gosh this picture is so beautiful 😍
