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!
