I found this bumble bee yesterday (not sure if it is a carder bee or not) – she was very low on energy so I gave her some sugar water and put her in the sunshine. After a few minutes she flew off. 
I also saw some geese flying over early this morning – the photo is a bit blurred but I had to be quick or they would be gone. Mrs. Madden
It turns out my bee may have been a male rather than a female.
It looks like a really nice bee. We have had a few in the garden
