Beekeeping on the side

It is rather difficult to see from the front that this is some sort of a bee. From the side, it is easy to see that it has a hairy backside that looked as if it had been dipped in pollen. From the face though, it looks more like a fly. Maybe it's a fly disguised as a bee? It could be a Bee-fly perhaps. Any advice welcome, thanks.

Well what with all these bee-like creatures and the sun making an appearance, it may just be summer? Fingers crossed.
