Those are Carpenter bees. Very similar looking to Bumblebees and yes they will burrow in soft wood (porches and decks) to use as a nest. They are not aggressive (only the females can sting) but will bump into you or fly in front of your face as a warning to not bother their nest. They Important pollinators but can do damage around the house and deck.
