That should be "Many FLIES mimic bees."
2 wings = Fly. Bees and Wasps have 4 wings. Many wasps mimic bees. They also visit flowers and may inadvertently collect pollen.
Its certainly possible but I figured Bee since he was covered in fine hairs instead of coarse hairs and has what looks like pollen in the hair.
Hi mastinmichael, I believe this is a species of Fly.
