Hi Bev, great macro shot. Lovely details.
No, it certainly wasn't a hornet, because these have no "fur", they are like huge wasps. Because of the furry body I suppose it is one of the bumble bees family - but I can't put my finger on the species for sure. The long wings iritate me, bumbles have shorter ones. So... here we go guessing further.

Not sure about the second one Chen - I think I was after the furry body to try and get an ID (but no luck
