Carpenter Bee, Anyone?

More pictures from our weeding adventure. These giant bees have been buzzing around our flowers for the last few years, so I thought I'd figure out what they are.

They're carpenter bees. Sounds bad! But from the research I did to do the identification, it turns out they're critical to the pollination process, and should be protected... That probably won't make my neighbor who has them living in his deck happy.

The site that helped me quickly figure this out is What's Buzzing in my Garden?.
