Actually, its a male carpenter bee which will hover in one area, protecting a nearby nest. They will dart at any insects flying by.

Do yellow jackets and bumble bees compete for territory?
Yes, I have noticed that bumble bees and yellow jackets DO compete for territory. I have had many yellow jackets infesting my home in upstate New York each season for 17 years. However, this last summer, I had a bumble bee family that moved into my front porch. I watched them each day as they literally chased away the yellow jackets whenever they came near. Yet the bumble bees never caused any harm to me or my family. Thank goodness for my "watch dogs", the bumble bees -- they are my guardians against those angry yellow jackets!
What is the difference between bumble bees and the queen bee?
Honey bees are social insects and live in groups of a few tens of thousands, bumble bees live in small groups or even alone. Although both species make honey, only honey bees store a surplus for times when nectar is not available. Bumble bees make at most around a tablespoonful of honey. Honey bees remain active over winter, though they won't leave the hive if it is too cold or wet. Young bumble bee queens seek out a sheltered place in which to hibernate, and the other bumble bees die when winter comes.
