Garden Bumblebee?

At least I think it is - long face & tongue and yellow stripes in all the right places.  I was quite excited that I managed to get a reasonably sharp image of this worker bee (they move around so quickly), but when I saw it  in the garden my initial thought had been a white-tailed worker.  So a first for me.
I also managed a close-up of what I believe to be a Buff-tailed Queen, I'd thought cuckoo bee when I saw such a large bee on the spires of the Veronica, but could see she was collecting pollen once I saw the images.

Lunch with my siblings at the Wortley Arms - mine was delicious and I didn't hear anyone else complaining either.
