It looks like a bee....
... but it isn't.
This is a hover fly Eristalis tenax (a.k.a. a Drone fly) which is a superb example of insect mimicry. This is not a bee; it does not sting. It is feeding on a Buddleia bush in my garden.
Many thanks to marmaladefly www.flickr.com/photos/32995664@N06/ for helping with the identification!
