They appear metallic and shiny blue to black so it seems to fit. No worries per se - If it starts to burrow in a wood beam or part of your home just try the steps in the article or give a professional a call- other than that it is just gathering pollen and nectar for its brood to feed on when they hatch. Thanks for reading Hey Jenny-

I Googled "shiny black bumblebee" and found your page. Is there anything else it might be, or do they actually live in this part of the world? It was enormous - easily as big as, if not bigger than, any bumblebee I've ever seen. It didn't seem interested in the many oleander flowers on my tree.

It's a dust formulated in an aerosol. It can be used with a straw tip so I can insert it deep in the hole and give a quick shot. The spray sticks and covers the entire tunnel and the bee can't help but get it on its body. You may be able to get this at a do it yourself pest control supply store either in your town or perhaps on line. If I don't happen to have that I use dust in a puff duster which gives me basically the same effect. BEE careful Barbara, I want you around to read some more on my site ;) The Bug Doctor Hi Barbara,
