Actually, its a male carpenter bee which will hover in one area, protecting a nearby nest. They will dart at any insects flying by. They will also dart at persons who come into their space, especially if the person makes a sudden movement or gesture. Male carpenter bees cannot sting. The females can sting, but do not exhibit this hovering behaviour.
