Yes, Peach trees are usually pollinated by the wind. Brady

Thank you Bradybb! I feel so much better now.

There are bees out there. You may have been looking when it was too windy or too late or whatever. I have several years thought the bees didn't make it through winter, but then a few days later I am out and its swarming bees.

Check out the picture of this odd bee I saw a few days ago, it looks like a hummingbird with a long beak thing.

Lots of other insects pollinate plants, and you don't always see them doing it.

Scott, I think that is actually a moth. I believe they are called by different names, but I always called them a "Bumblebee Moth".

Honeybees won't come out in cool or windy weather. Look for other insects, too.

I think that's a Hummingbird Moth. Brady

Yup not a bee a moth. I'd seen similar bugs before but this one had very bee-like abdomen markings so I thought bee. I'm happy to have it, it was doing a great job pollinating my plum.

Bee fly, family Bombyliidae

Now that I look at other pictures,it does look like a Bee fly,Bombylius major.Thanks beetle_doc. Brady

Its a bee .. its a moth .. its Superfly!!

Thats definitely it, looks identical. Apparently they parasitize bee nests and so are genetically engineered to fool bees into thinking they are bees so they can get close. Sure fooled me.

On the general topic of odd pollinators I find a huge array of odd flying bugs doing pollination duty in my orchard. Every year I find some new kind of bug, this guy was my find for this year.

Gosh, look at that long beaky thing! I googled bee fly, it's a kind of fly and that long thing is a tongue?! Learn something new everyday!

I saw a few bees flying yesterday afternoon, but it's raining today:-(

I hope whatever is out there, bees,flies, moth or wind, will be enough to pollinate my peach trees!

Thank you all for all the answers!

I bet other bugs and critters leave it alone because it looks like a bee!
