hot rear wheel problem

hi everyone, I have a problem my passenger side rear wheel gets hot every now and again...hotter than the other wheels.

I have previously thought that this has been caused by a sticky brake piston, however when i've had a look it seems fine, and dont think i've got excessive pad wear or anything.

Recently thought i've been hearing a droneing noise, mostly over 50mph, i have taken the car on a road test with a mechanic today and he said it sounds like a wheel bearing.

My question is....could it be a failing wheel bearing that is causing heat to be generated through my wheel....or is it more likely that i have an additional problem?

any help greatly appreciated
