Re: Is this a Common Bee Fly?

Hi

At this time of year there are not likely to be B. minor - this fly is on the wing in July and early August.

B. major is the commonest of the beeflies and is flying now (mid-March). If you are lucky, you might also see B. discolor (spotted wings) in a week or two
