"Flies have large eyes set on the top and front of their heads while bees have them on the side of the head. Bees have long, thin antennae while flies have stubby or no visible antennas. "


"Bees have four wings, two per side, while flies only have two, one on each side. Bees will hold their wings over their back while flies hold splayed out to the sides "


this is how bee head should look like

bee

Actually the dead give away was it's proboscis and it's legs

Fantastic shots by a master as usual. By the way, this looks more like a fly to me than a bee, judging by its eyes.:what:
