Owen, James (10 December 2015). "World's Biggest Fly Faces Two New Challengers". National Geographic . Retrieved 21 July 2016. Honey bees will fly straight out of their hive towards their foraging location. They will avoid objects by flying over them, rather than finding a route around them. Unexpected obstacles in a bee’s flight path can surprise the bee, and if it’s a living organism, can result in a sting. How fast can bees fly? Yeates, David K.; Meier, Rudolf; Wiegmann, Brian.

As their names suggest, solitary bees do not live in colonies. Each female makes her own nest but they can nest close together in large numbers. If they are in your lawn or buildings, they may look worrying but they cause no damage. Again most species only fly for a few weeks so will probably disappear again within a month. Please leave them alone if you can.Colless, D.H. & McAlpine, D.K. (1991). Diptera (flies), pp.717–786. In: The Division of Entomology.

Look at the flying insect’s features. All flying insects are identified by common characteristics—two or four wings, six legs, and a segmented body. However, the colorful wings of some insects like butterflies or moths help to identify the species. Other winged insects have transparent wings. The Western honey bee ( Apis mellifera) has three pairs of fuzzy dark legs, a pair of antennae, and two pairs of wings Lakes-Harlan, Reinhard; Jacobs, Kirsten; Allen, Geoff R. (2007). "Comparison of auditory sense organs in parasitoid Tachinidae (Diptera) hosted by Tettigoniidae (Orthoptera) and homologous structures in a non-hearing Phoridae (Diptera)". Zoomorphology. 126 (4): 229–243. doi: 10.1007/s00435-007-0043-3. S2CID 46359462.Flies are adapted for aerial movement and typically have short and streamlined bodies. The first tagma of the fly, the head, bears the eyes, the antennae, and the mouthparts (the labrum, labium, mandible, and maxilla make up the mouthparts). The second tagma, the thorax, bears the wings and contains the flight muscles on the second segment, which is greatly enlarged; the first and third segments have been reduced to collar-like structures, and the third segment bears the halteres, which help to balance the insect during flight. The third tagma is the abdomen consisting of 11 segments, some of which may be fused, and with the 3 hindmost segments modified for reproduction. [34] Some Dipterans are mimics and can only be distinguished from their models by very careful inspection. An example of this is Spilomyia longicornis, which is a fly but mimics a vespid wasp.
