Eristalis sp.
Satyen, please can you update the details on this spotting.
thanks doryreed for the feedback.
This is a fly not a honey bee. It looks like a Syrphid. Probably Eristalis sp.. You can tell because it doesn't have long antennae and only one pair of wings.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eristalis
Thanks Chaitanya
