Default Hovering Bumble Bees

I've got some big black not-very-fuzzy bees hovering about two fee off

These bees can be quite destructive to wood -- even treated lumber.
They will eventually hollow out the board. I would suggest a thick coat
of paint on the bottom surface of the wood to discourage them as they
always bore holes on the bottom side.
