Great photo. The bumblebees love my Rose of Sharons, too. I often see them 
crawling into them before they open for the day. Early bee gets the pollen!

    By noon, the Rose of Sharon blooms were about half closed, but a few 
    bees were still working. I caught this large black bee departing a 
    partially closed bloom.  As I looked at the image on my computer screen, 
    I realized that the markings were unusual. It was not a Carpenter Bee, 
    our most common variety, but was thin-waisted and had two thin, fuzzy 
    yellow bands on the abdomen.  Searches online were not helpful.  I 
    assume it is some form of Bumble Bee, but the name eludes me.
