Also, it was definately not a hummingbird. It was more round.

Are you sure it wasn't one of those big fat bumblebees?

Ladybird is the common name for ladybugs in most other English-speaking countries; they are not birds.
Are you CERTAIN it wasn't a hummingbird ? There are a couple of species. It's the only bird that can fly backwards...
How about a BUMBLE BEE ?
More detail on the colour and what it was doing ?

It's either a hummingbird or a bumble bee on steroids

It definitely sounds like a June bug. We had a lot of them around the fruit trees in our back yard. The fruit came in late but it is all gone now and so our the bugs.

There are hummingbirds that look very much like bees.

sounds like a very big bumble bee, may be the queen
if you are having problems with bees, killing the queen usually helps rid the problem

I would have guessed a hummingbird by the way you described it.

I would guess that it was a hummingbird! They are very tiny!
