How dangerous are black bees?

Posted at: 2014-11-15 
My neighbor has a flowering tree that is right on the border of his backyard and ours. It attracts TONS of those big black bees! Should I be worried about them?

The black bees are carpenter bees, and you should worry if you see a lot of holes in your timbers. Otherwise, you have nothing to worry about.

Black bees with a touch of yellow could be bumble bees. They are good for pollination.
