Default Are these carpenter bees?

The difference is the carpenter bee is
about half yellow and half black where the bumble bee is predominantly
black with a much smaller amount of white/yellow.


Horsehockey. Color has nothing to do with it. There are five species of
carpenter bees in the US, and they vary in color schemes by species, as
well as by sex. A carpenter bee has a shiny abdomen. A bumble bee's is
covered in hair.

Stubby?
