I have butterfly bushes, but these bushes also attract these bees that I can not find anywhere online. They are about 2 inches long and resemble the bumble bee and carpenter bees. Does anybody have any information on them? Do they sting? They have never come after me yet and as you can see, I have been right next to them, like 6 inches away. I figure they are good pollinators. My main question is what kind of bee it is and if they sting or not.

Thanks for any info.
