Toto- Do they get as large as honey bees?

Some do Tastey. There are a number of varieties of them.

I didn't get a great frontal view Toto, but there is another shot of him on here (the shot prior to this one). He definitely wasn't an average honey bee, there was something special/different about him. His legs were bigger and his colors and markings were extra special. If he was a honey bee, then he was the deluxe model fo sho! Thanks for the 411 on the hoverfly, I'll have to check it out and see if I can find something online.
