Mystery Bee

I'm lucky enough to live in an area where there are lots of bees. I don't know one type from the other, though, so I thought I'd start trying to learn just which types they are.
So here's one that was nectaring on the pentas in my garden. It had a bigger body than the ones I think of as "bumble bees" and an interesting black spot in the yellow area -
Anybody know which type this is?

| That's a Carpenter Bee. I've noticed them doing a lot of nectaring lately, too. I have several Autumn Joy sedums that stay so covered with them that the butterflies barely get a snack. |
