I agree with Seaburngirl, much more like a fly than a bee - some hoverflies look like this, fly doesn't just mean house fly or bluebottle.

It could be one of 270 species of Hoverfly, they have one set of wings whereas a bee has two.

Thanks. A fly it is :). Only just realised I forgot to post the picture....doh!!
Now I know re the wings I will pay attention in future :)

hover flies fly like humming birds and generaly bees almost look lazy flying in comparrison . i didnt realise there were 270 species grandmage wow i knew there were quite a few . heres a bit of useless information . if one pare of blue bottles were given ideal conditions with know predetors and could breed as often as possible they would breed enough that if put in a ball after a year they`ed be the size of the planet earth . thats why i realy like spiders .

I like is Nosey!! Love these bits of info, its like a pair of rats produces 2000 per year!! eeeek
