Couldn't tell by the pics. The male carp bee will have a white face
along with a hairless abdomen, where the bumble bees abdomen will be
hairy.... heat must be getting to me because I didn't even think about
this time of year being when drone bumblebees will make their appearance
and they will live away from the bee colony, so very possible it is
bumblebees you are seeing...the drone has no stinger, so a test of sort
would be to pick one up bare handed ;)

They are definitely fuzzy. Um...I think I'll pass on the stinger test :P.
I'll take a close look tomorrow. I have this flower bush out front that
usually has 10-20 of the critters buzzing around it at any time. Something
about the bush attracts them, not sure what it is.
