    For the record, when I was setting this website up 6 years ago, I too posted a picture of a Hover Fly thinking it was a honey bee.  Obviously, an easy mistake to make. Can you name this alleged bee?

    Our sister bee club just east of us, the Tualatin Valley Beekeepers Association, publishes a newsletter.  Their editor posted a picture last issue and was called out by one of the members. 

    Check it out.
