I think this is probably a Tree Bumblebee (Bombus hypnorum) - quite small, and had some white markings on it's face, suggesting this is a male. Only the second time I have seen one in garden in Preston.

    Paul,

    I think you are probably right. It is in excellent condition. Nice detail but a shot showing the head would have been good.
