    New fly on the block

    Found this unusual looking flying creature hanging out on my apple tree a couple of days ago. lovely to look at, not so good for the solitary bees though

    Some info on them: Have you seen a Bee-fly? - Amateur Entomologists' Society (AES)

      Strange looking isn't it???...think it's quite pretty actually!!

      Not seen one for ages- but maybe it's just as well since we're hoping to get some bees!!!!!

        I'd never seen one until this year. The honey / hive / grouping bees should be OK it's the solitary ones that these chaps go for. A really good year for these little blighters apparently. I thought they were pretty cute too but have gone off them a little since the bee thing came out :-/
