Tis' the season for flowers & bugs

Yep the dandelions are popping up now. I saw a bumble bee today which I don't normally see in April here. But I saw this bug collecting some pollen on this dandelion, I assume it's some kind of bee.

I got nice and close as I could with the macro. I'm pretty happy with it overall. It was cloudy so good soft light.

Nice photo but it is a fly, the mouthparts are very different from a bee's.

Nice shot! Yeah, that looks like a House Fly.
