Thanks to George Lottermoser for pointing out that my bumble bee image did not 
appear to be a true bumble bee.  I did a search, and found that bumble bees 
have a gold, fuzzy butt, while carpenter bees have a shiny black butt.  There 
are also bee imposters that have a single pair of wings.  This large bee 
appears to be a carpenter bee.  I am adding another image that shows other 
details.

I learn every day how little I really know!
