What kind of a bee is this one? See photos please. These are very quiet ones. We did not have anyone of those trying to bite us.

Thanks for your help!

This looks like a Bumble bee...there are around 250 species, these guy's are usually harmless and do the pollination
for you on most of your flowers, fruits and vegetable in your home garden when honeybees fail, honeybees are usually only interested in large scale plants like Dandelion, Clover, Canola, Borage etc.
