Big Black bug on a bunch of crown flowers

[Rebellious]

I was testing out various settings in the camera & attempting to capture the flowers for comparison to understand the difference each setting makes. This black bug decided to photo bomb

It looks like a bumble bee but only black.

You say photo bomb, I say photo enrich!
Apparently it's called a blue Bee. Here's a little something on it:

Nice shots! Love the iridescence in the wings!

Agreed, we had bees build a hive in our shed, it took us a while, but we finally tracked down a bee keeper who was willing to come out and relocate them rather than just have an exterminator come out.

Not sure if the Blue Bee is found here in India. Will have to look it up. Thanks

I didn't know you were from India so maybe it's not one, maybe a cousin to it …. or not. Edit: says in the article the blue bee lives in the U.S. and Canada. No mention of India so that will take some more research. I'm really curious!
Edit: I just found a pic of it and some info on wiki about it. It looks like it's a Carpenter Bee that is found in India.

It is indeed a carpenter bee. Thanks for the help identifying.
