Nice find Shannon! This handsome insect is actually a Bumble Bee. There is a good chance that this is a Common Eastern Bumble Bee, Bombus impatiens. Here is a link that you can compare your bee to: http://bugguide.net/node/view/56797 Honey Bees are smaller and more streamlined than Bumble Bees. Here is a link with images of Honey Bees so you can see the differences: http://bugguide.net/node/view/3080 Hope this helps!
