Males and females are very different, with the male being orange and the female all-black. Confusion with other species is not likely in early spring as no common bumblebee is entirely black nor are the brown bumblebees generally as richly coloured as the male Anthophora. This species is able to hover well. Thanks for viewing my photos and for any favourites and comments, it’s much appreciated. Date: Taken on 27 March 2020, 13:58. Source:
