I googled all images of Bombus but couldn't find an exact match with this one I found in the dune vegetation of a nature reserve 'Het Zwin' on the Netherlands-Belgium border 2 days ago. It was a rather cold day and the Bumble bee looked sleepy and drowsy, sitting in the same spot for a very long time without feeding.
I found one which is similar like Bombus ruderarius but not sufficient to be confident.
