Saw my first flying bumblebees of 2012 today.
These two were visiting these flowers near Victoria Station in the centre of the urban jungle in London. (map)
Saw her first.
and a moment later she came along too.
Trying to get the name of the plant.

The plant is a winter honeysuckle. Lonicera Fragrantissima.
Looks like it is good plant to have around for the bees since it flowers early in the year.
As for the bees they look like Bombus terrestris queens, I think? Excellent shot of the pollen colour.
Many thanks.
