This is a photo of a black bee - a Carpenter bee.  If this is what you
are asking about then the following will be helpful to you.

Carpenter bees are another common example of a solitary bee. The
hairy, bluish?black bees you see visiting flowers or hear buzzing by
each spring are female carpenter bees. They are over one inch long and
about as wide as your thumb. Female carpenter bees are capable of
stinging, but are not normally aggressive. They do not sting unless
trapped, stepped on or otherwise endangered.
