I cannot understand this comment, I've never seen flies that had yellow stripes on their bodies, but it may be true that it doesn't look like a normal bee, as it is not hairy, and it doesn't look like a wasp either...

yes, the insect in this beautiful picture is a bee mimic (for starters, note the Club-like antennae and only one pair of wings...bees have thinner, longer antennae and two pairs of wings). The insect in the photograph appears to be a harmless (to humans!) Syrphid Fly, also known as a Hover Fly or Flower Fly (Order Diptera, Family Syrphidae is my guess since Flies in this group resemble bees/wasps in appearance)
Very beautiful photograph! I like it!

the photo is beautiful and the fly is not blurry at all.
Yes it's a fly! Look at the eyes, they are very different from bee eyes. These flies imitate bees to be protected against birds and other predators
