[QUOTE="STM, post: 735865, member: 12827"] I did not put this in macro because the magnification was around 1:2 Outwardly, Carpenter Bees very closely resemble Bumble Bees in both size and shape but there are actually some notable differences, a few of which include Bumble Bees have fur covered abdomens whereas Carpenter Bees have fur-less shiny black ones. Bumble Bees are social and usually live in nests below ground. Carpenter Bees, for the most part, are solitary and make their nests by boring into soft wood. Both male and female Bumble Bees have stingers but only female Carpenter Bees have them. Both of them, however, are very docile and very reluctant to sting. Unlike Honey bees, their stingers are smooth so they can still multiple times. It took 50 images focus stacked in Zerene to get this female sharp from end to end.
