I saw this bee late September and I'm only now getting round to asking if anybody knows what it is (or perhaps use that new book).

On first glance I was taken aback because that pointy tail looked like a giant honey bee. I don't think I've ever seen a bumble bee with a pointy tail - but I suppose it is a bumble bee!
