Huge bumble bee – light brown fur and no obvious stripes?
I live in southern california and yesterday was surprised to see a large bumble bee that appeared to be covered with light brown fur and had no stripes. I read about teddy bear bees from Australia but don’t know if they’re supposed to be in California. One site I looked at said that you should report them as they can be problematic. Anyone know about bees?
How about carpenter bees.

There are bumble bees as well as others on this sheet of photos. Click on the photo and you get an enlargement and info on the bee. I have annual visits at my house in Northern California of carpenter bees that have a metallic green color body with black hairs. They build nests in a shed made of cedar. They also like redwood. There are many variations in color and amount of hair. But if it build its nest by drilling into wood its a carpenter bee. Also they are the tamest of the bees. They are constantly hoovering around the nest sites where I must pass and they never bother me.
