Bees like my Sky Pencils

I get these cute bees on my Sky Pencils every year. I think they must be a type of bumble bee. I looked but didn't find a match, so I don't know what kind of bee they are. They are not aggressive at all. I can get really close to them with my camera. They don't seem to even notice me. When the Sky Pencils are in bloom, like they are now, they are covered with these bees.

I think they are worker honey bees. I found a picture online that looks similar to mine. A fun type of bee to have around.

Yes, that bee in your picture looks like a worker honey bee.
