It is most likely a carpenter bee. They burrow into wood. As far as I understand it, the males act somewhat agressively - buzzing and hovering - but they don't have stingers. The females stay close to the area where they are nesting and DO have stingers, but will only sting if provoked. We used to call these wood bees, but I believe the correct term is carpenter bees. Do your own research to verify. Good luck!
