He's a handsome chap, you're right about the weather, although it has been relatively warm today, even up on the roof.
According to what I read the other day, Bumblebees can be sexed by checking their antennae.
If they have 'elbows' they're female. If they are straight or maybe just a wee bit bent, they're males.
So I guess this Bee is a female? (That's why she's so good looking, Rolf! ;))
Great photo with wonderful detail, Louise!
LOL - when I was typing the comment I automatically typed 'he' I then thought "should I check whether it really is a male" and decided that no-one would bother... trust you, Catherine - troublemaker :)
That's me! :-HaHaHa
