There doesn't seem to be a pattern when they come out, they fly off in all directions.

All that we plant are native for pollinators and butterflies. Mrs Nowhereman also raises monarchs and will be tagging them this year. Installed some new packages of bees this morning in the snow flurries. The other hives look good. Crazy weather.

Hey, I'm a beekeeper too! I have two bees. Here's one, the other has a home hanging above the deck.

Cute little dude, do you know what kind?
My ladies are hauling heavy loads into the hive. I have no idea what they've found.

That looks like one of those venomous Nigerian Murder Bees that reproduce exponentially under decks.

All you bee keepers who are worrying about the future of not only your bees but all bees, I have the answer, plant pot.
Would I lie to you, my oldest and dearest friends... except for money or sex.

While trimming the grass around the irises I noticed this guy flying around. There were a few of them, not aggressive and seemed to be more interested in what they found down on the ground much more so than the blossoms in the area. Based on what I've learned from you guys here, I'd say this is a carpenter bee.
I have a couple other pics of him crawling on the ground but I like this action shot the best.

I spotted these ladies on a large rock out-cropping in the woods. I think they're drinking water.

Wild Honeybees... independent, not beholden to the man, living free the way of the ancients.
