How can I tell a carpenter bee from a bumble bee?

Carpenter bees and bumblebees do look somewhat alike. You can tell them apart. Both collect pollen to feed to their young, but their nest sites and habits are quite different. Both bees are about the same size, and both are black and yellow. The easiest way to tell the difference is that the top of the carpenter bee’s abdomen is black, shiny, and hairless, while the bumblebee’s abdomen is fuzzy black, often with the yellow band.
