Based on the shiny abdomen, this looks like a male eastern carpenter bee, Xylocopa virginica - see http://davesgarden.com/guides/bf/go/378/

That's funny. I was just about to upload this pic to ask what kind of bee this was, but did not have to once I read it. This bee is seen here chewing on my house.

That makes sense for a carpenter! Guess I'll close it out and add some pics to BugFiles.. Thanks again.
