I don’t know what species it is, I can’t get very good closeups with my phone but I think it’s a Bee, however it could be a hover fly? The back end of it doesn’t look fuzzy enough. But it has yellow and black bands on it. So does anyone know?
Whether bee or fly, at least its something that pollinates plants, and that’s what we need to protect in the world. Imagine a world without pollinating insects? There would be a lot less fruit and vegetables unless we were to hand pollinate or create machines that could do it. But we don’t need that. We need to protect what we already have! Banning pesticides that kill bees, like nicotioides. Farming responsibly and safely. Its a difficult balance. But we must make it happen.

I think it’s a drone bee – the haploid males which fertilize new queens! Awesome picture!

Thanks, someone on Facebook said it was a drone hover fly. I like knowing what things like this are.

Me too! I once sent a photograph to the insects guy at London Zoo just to find out what is was!
