Bee fly: Bombyliidae. Not a bee, but a fly.
I saw several of these bees in the garden. They especially liked the forget-me-nots. They hover when extracting nectar from flowers and have a long probiscis. Earlier in the day I saw two, joined back to back in flight; presumably mating? I didn't managed to video that coupling though.
