I think this is an orchard bee. I saw one here in Michigan once. It had made a nest between railroad ties in our flower garden and was going in and out of it.

Great photo of a beautiful insect; a bee I'd guess.

It is definitely a bee, Euglossine of some sort, not native to the U.S. A great many of them areexclusively pollinators of orchids
