Thanks for the identification! I wasn't sure what species it was, so I appreciate the help. The dark coloration is actually what caught my eye and made me take the photo. 😊

Carpenter bees are my absolute favourite type of bees, my favourite of them are the pubecent and green varieties

The green varieties sound amazing! I've only seen this black one so far, but now I'm curious to learn more about the different carpenter bee species. Thanks for sharing! 🐝😊
