Its not a Bee, but a Hoverfly They imitate bees' patterns so that birds and other predators avoid them in fear of a painful sting- when in fact, it hasn't got one

I take this shot at my sister house on Ireland, in that hour the day was a bit cloudy.
The fly was flying around with the real bees.

Well he was surrounded by other bees, on my sister's place exists lots of crows, Starlings and bats.
The bats and Starlings eat insects like fly.

Indeed, yesterday I saw a Starling so close of me, sadly I couldn't take a photo, my niece had my camera.
