Hovered as in like a hummingbird? If yes, indeed there *is* a honeybee that hovers similar to a hummingbird... called the "hummingbird bee". It's rather large at 2", but I've seen here in the northeast a regular-sized honeybee that hovers like a hummingbird.
The Hummingbird Bee is actually the Hummingbird Moth. Saw my first one the other day while it was feeding on our wild Indian Paintbrushes.
2” and I would have fallen off the roof! No, this was a tiny, tiny bee. Sometimes I see little flies that are luminescent and around 3/8 of an inch max and it was that size.
