If you can't beat them...

Cranesbill.

After lunch Clickychick was continuing her quest for pastoral scenes.  While we were parked by the roadside and she was engrossed with her tripod I was wandering around taking shots.  I had just focused on this Cranesbill and was about to press the shutter when the bee landed.

A couple of frantic shutter releases and I had got some shots.  Just as it decided to move on to another flower.  The Bee (going by my identification skills) is a worker Red-Tailed Bumble Bee.  A species which is widely distributed in the UK only being absent from parts of the west coast of Scotland.
