This is the other bee I have 'named' Bombus sylvarum,

The smallest has a yellowish colouring on the abdomen back, the slightly larger ones are more black with paler hairs. They are always together so I assume they are different sexes of the same bee.

This is the smaller one, on a Geranium which is one of those wild ones with thick red stems, it usually grows in the autumn and dies after the next season flowering, has quite small flowers.
