Garden bumblebee
The 'garden' bumblebee (Bombus hortorum) is relatively easily identified because it is the only bumblebee commonly found in gardens which has a stripe at the posterior of its thorax as well as one at the anterior of its abdomen. These can look like a single stripe if not well seen, but you can clearly see them in this picture. The posterior of the abdomen ('tail') is whitish in common with several other species.
