Definitely a bumblebee (Bombus sp.). Could be B. pascuorum (most common), or either B. muscorum or B. humilis (more rare). I'm not familiar with UK bees, so I'm not confident in IDing this one to species. Here are a couple of links to check out that should help: http://www.bumblebee.org/pasc.htm http://www.bumblebee.org/uncommonSp.htm#muscorum
