Bees and not bees in the garden: bumble bees and (I think) a hover fly on Salvia and Angelica flowers #bees #flowers #cumbria

Photo shows a bee with fuzzy yellow hairs on its body, on green stems with small purple flowers A bee with orange fuzzy body balancing on one of a set of spires of small purple flowers Maybe a hover fly with banded yellow and black body on a flower with small pink blooms

I think maybe the not bee is a fly: Sericomyia Silentis, it’s the best match to the pictures in the Collins guide
