Description
Original Painting of a Buff-tailed Bumblebee (Bombus terrestris) by Wildlife Artist & Online Art Tutor Paul Hopkinson
Buff-tails are our largest bumblebee here in the UK. They will utilise old mammal nests for their own nests, which may contain up to 600 bees. Interestingly the workers have a white tail, so if you spot the buff-tail, you know you are looking at a queen, although her size will also give her away! She will be one of the first bees to emerge, and can be on the wing from February onwards, although with climate warming, here in the south of England, they can be active all year round. So providing sources of winter nectar can really benefit them.

I have used the finest brushes to produce the tiny details which bring this painting to life.

A bit about me:
I am a full time professional artist based in North Devon in the United Kingdom. Specialising in wildlife – animals, birds, insects and botanical studies, I love to capture the life within my paintings. I very much enjoy the process of working with the watercolour medium to create fine detail. My portfolio is ever expanding and many of my paintings are available as tutorials – both written and video. Take a look on my channels, and you may see this painting being created, maybe even have a go yourself!
Thank you for browsing my work, and I look forward to hearing from you.
