Xylocopa caffra
Medium sized Bee, about 1 inch long, solid black slightly glossy abdomen, two wide white stripes across the centre of his body.
Seen in an urban garden
He was obsessed with something under this chair and I could not get him to sit still for a wings down pic. oh now after identification, I see why she was so obsessed with this wooden chair. They build their nests in dead wood, bamboo or structural timbers.
