This a carpenter bee seen up close (Xylocopa ruficornis). Despite their large size, these bees are generally docile and are unlikely to sting unless they feel threatened or are handled roughly. [📹 jithesh_pai]

Most bees are docile. I have had hives with bees that will let you know if you get to close.
