Bumble bee (Bombus) in early morning light

This pretty, golden bumblebee was perched on a leaf early this morning at Rockcliffe Park. It was too hot to sleep so I was up unusually early (for me!) and out with Tasha for a short stroll. Not many insects around so early, but this one was cooperative.

Almost looks like a honeybee, we have lots of them in the flowers at work, when we water the flowers, we have to chase the bees away. The customers get worried about it, but the bees don't seem to mind.
