Certain robber flies resemble bumble bees. This is a Robber Fly in the family Asilidae and there are many genera with species that resemble Bumble Bees, like your individual. Laphria thoracica is a large bumble bee mimic robber fly.
Robber flies are of the family Asilidae (true flies); they have just two wings (and no stinger), whereas wasps and bees have four wings.

Laphria thoracica is probably the most common. We believe this might be Laphria flavicollis based on this image posted to BugGuide. Few of the North American Laphria species have a common name. The evolutionary advantages of a harmless organism mimicking a harmful organism (Batesian mimicry) include deterring predators that are fearful of stinging bees. There are at least 33 Laphria species in the eastern United States. Coloration usually involves yellow, orange, or red plus black or brown, often with stripes or other patterns to mimic the warning coloration of bees or wasps. It occurs in the United States from the northeast to the Midwest and south to Tennessee, and in adjacent Canadian provinces. Harmless flies and valuable pollinators, flower flies (in the family Syrphidae) are incredibly convincing mimics of bees, wasps, and yellowjackets.
However, bee flies (Diptera: Bombyliidae) are another family of flies, and include many species of stout-bodied, yellow haired flies often seen hovering or resting on the ground or on flowers in open, sunny areas. Laphria sacrator is one of several species famous for being a bumble bee mimic, so “bumble bee mimic robber fly” will stand in for the common name. These mimics are also called “assassin flies” because they lie in wait until an unsuspecting wasp, bee, butterfly, or beetle passes by, then the bumblebee mimic attacks. It shows the thicker antennae of the genus Laprhia which differ from the antennae that are thin and threadlike at the final segment in the genus Mallophora. No Common Name.

Some robber flies resemble bees in a appearance but can readily be separated since true flies have only one pair of wings. In addition, it also makes it more likely that a potential prey insect will come closer to the bee mimic, thinking the “bee” is looking for nectar or pollen, not a meaty meal.

Your photo of the Bee-Like Robber Fly in the genus Laphria is excellent for the genus identification. The common name for the genus is bee-like robber fly.
