Every year I get these huge Black Bees shaped like a bumble bee only larger, see pic. Its so funny to watch them collect pollen from my Rose of Sharon. I saw one the other day with so much pollen that it was dripping like a string and the bee was having a hard time flying. Can you ID for me, Fort Worth, Tx.
Maybe Carpenter Bee?

Definitely a carpenter bee; note the shiny abdomen - bumble bees have a hairy butt.
LOL! May I quote you, suunto?
Long as it's not taken out of context... ;-)
