Default Are these carpenter bees?

Yep, Carpenter bees are shiny and generally have less yellow in their
behinds.

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?
