Not a bee. Too cloudy to tell what type of wasp it is.

That’s a Yellowjacket!
I'm kind of at a loss with ID'ing this bee. It's about the size of a honeybee. The heavily furred legs make me think it could be some Apidae.

I plugged your picture into iNaturalist and their suggested genus was Andrena. When I looked in Carril & Wilson’s Common Bees of Eastern North America, Andrena seems too small. The scopal hairs and size does suggest Apidae. There’s a whole lotta bees in that family

It is not easy! They usually use abandoned rodent burrows. You’ll have to follow workers hovering near the ground. If you’re lucky, you’ll see some coming in and out of a hole. I’ve only found two in a decade of trying. Don’t disturb any because many species are struggling.How can I find a bumblebee nest?

That's a solitary bee for sure. I can't narrow down to species though but I've seen tons of them too.
