A small carpenter bee. In Michigan. 

Oh! I love this lil bee. I’m not sure if this is the exact same species, but female spurred carpenter bees will sometimes turn their oldest daughter into a worker bee who cleans the hollowed out stem where the female lays her eggs. Poor lady is forced into maid service :\
