The bees have it

The bees certainly seem to like these blue flowers. I'm starting to look more closely at bees. I think the second one might be an Early-nesting Bumblebee, Bombus pratorum, and maybe the first one is another Buff-tailed Bumblebee, B. terrestris. Of course, feel free to tell me I'm wrong...

The Natural History Museum bumblebee page is very helpful for bee ID.
