Bumblebees or More Likely Carpenter Bees on Azaleas in Slow Motion

This anisotropicplus video is a series of slow motion video clips I took of what I thought were bumblebees on our azaleas. I have learned that they are more likely carpenter bees because they have smooth dark abdomens and bumblebees have fuzzy yellow abdomens, but they are very similar. They like to bore holes in our porch roof rafters which helps confirm they are more likely carpenter bees. So I changed the title of the video. They prefer the pink azaleas, at least on our property. I used an iPhone 12 Pro Max at 1080p HD and 240 fps for most of the clips, but a couple were taken at 720p HD at 240 fps. I think you will really enjoy this.
