I use to find these type of bees in my garden, it isn’t a honey bee so I think it is a bumble bee, even though I am not sure. These bees are harmless, I have never heard about someone being sting by them.
Unfortunately the number of these bees and also honey bees decreased a lot in the last 2 years, there is a new threat, the asian wasp. Those wasp are killing our bees and neither produce honey nor pollinate, they just destroy everything around. Recently 2 people who lived in my village died because these asian wasp sting them, they are dangerous and a real threat.
