This critter is not a bee but an Episyrpus Balteatus, one of the species of the HOVERFLY family. It's body is about 7 - 10 millimetres long. It was visiting a lavatera flower in the garden of my wife.

In life as in dance: grace glides on blistered feet.
I know it doesn't have a blue tail but it sure made me think of this song Sea. President Lincoln's favorite so they say.
Such good work with your lens.
Good health to you and yours.

Cameras are like people--sometimes they lose focus.
Lovely image of the flower Cornelius and the fly is so clear too. Very nice capture my friend.

If practice makes perfect and nobody is perfect, then why practice?
A very well captured shot of the hoverfly, looks like the kind we have here. The lovely flower is very well captured as well. =^..^=tigs

Nature in all her glory is my uplift on life and so is my love of photography. sandi ♪ ♫
I have never heard of a hoverfly before. Very colorful and prettier than the regular fly. Great closeup.

I usually see these types of hoverflies in the late summer. Excellent focus on the tiny critter. Great colors too. Very well done, Cornelius.

Nice capture. Despite narrow depth of field your focus is great. Most important parts are sharp as needed. Good macro work, Cornelius.
