And, by the way, this is a hover fly, NOT a bee. Ricky loves these things.
Hover Fly - any member of a family that contains about 6,000 species of insects in the fly order, Diptera. Their various common names refer to the behaviour of hovering around flowers. Hover flies, with their yellow markings, resemble wasps or bees but do not bite or sting.
