For the last couple of days I have been sitting on my deck watching a considerable number of bees working the spicebush at the back of my yard, feeling contented as the breeze brought the sweet scent of its flowers to me. But today I inspected up close and found they were not my bees at all. They aren't even honey bees! They are somewhat larger and huskier than honey bees Yet they're smaller than carpenter bees with a black abdomen. and a yellow thorax with a bald black spot in the middle. Can anyone I.D.these interlopers?
