User's notes

Saw this extremely yellow looking insect among the bees, thought so yellow, is it a European wasp? Then I realised that it was totally covered and weighed down with pollen over its head and legs. I think it may be a Blue-banded bee, but not sure. I also considered that it might have that Puppeteer Fungus, but it was far too active.
