    It's a fly ;) Bees have long antennae bigger than the head, and two pair of wings. Could be a Syrphidae... Diptera is not my speciality ;) Cheers! Posted 9 years ago

    Nice one, Eros. Felix is right, this is a hover fly ("zweefvlieg"). They are easily confused with bees though. Posted 9 years ago

    Good shot for anyone 14 years old Eros you keep doing best and you will get there. You've learned something again because it is indeed a glider.
