The bees are active... by thewatersphotos

The bees are active...

Actually this might be a "fly", but I noticed it has pollen sacks on its legs, so I called it a bee.
Any help with identifying it would be appreciated. The flower is one of the "domesticated" Blackeyed Susans that we have moved to a pot from the yard.
I found an image with several types of insects similar to bees an maybe this is hoverfly?

@vaidasguogis That was what I thought, as well, after more careful looking. Thanks for your comment!

To me that looks like a bee, what with its stripes and all, and pollen too. Lovely capture of the flower, it’s really pretty.,

A superb image. I believe it is a bee with yellow and black stripes.

I like all the details on the flower, such as a the "hairy" stem and sepals.
