Anthony, yes, it is what it looks like. These look like Long-horned Bees. The males compete to mate with the female and will sometimes end up in a big pile. Here is an image I got last year: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/120626064 I think yours are a different species. Try looking here: http://bugguide.net/node/view/8019/bgpage
