Black Honey Bee ? No it's a Resin Bee


Black Honey Bee ? just identified as a Resin Bee

I caught this honey bee in my screen porch
and set him free on the deck railing.
He didn't move so I thought he might be overheated
so I put him on a leaf and got him some water to sip.
The rest of the afternoon he just stayed there.

Later he was still there so I picked an echinacea
for him thinking he might be hungry.
The next morning he was still there
 but had climbed on the flower.
As the morning sun rose higher in the sky
I checked on him and he had flown off.
Can anyone confirm this is indeed a black honey bee ?
