Bees and a hornet or two

As I walked down the garden to look at the damsons I heard the buzzing from several metres away. The ivy above the cart shed was full of what must have been hundreds of bees. Some were large and bright orange (see middle of photo). Originally I thought these must be queen bees but now I believe they are probably hornets. Dave spent a long time trying to photograph them but they didn't settle.
