My previous posts in which I sated was a Bumble Bee was in fact a Carpenter Bee.
Thanks to Richardh76, this has all been straightened out. Google is our friend.
A bumble bee is much smaller. The ones that I photographed were were about an inch long total, and very fat. Bumble bees also have a hairy, flat black thorax, where as in this photo, it is bare and shiny. This was the dead give away that it is fact, a Carpenter Bee.
