Bees in Compost: A question for "the Pollinator"

Hi,
Yestday I was out adding some grass clippings to my compost and
unexpectedly disturbed a nest of bees. Rather friendly creatures
apparently, they swarmed above the compost bin but did not attack me. At
the time I was unable to get a good look at them.

This morning I went back to have a look and found them very busy at
rebuilding their home. I searched a bit on the net to see if I could
identify exactly what kind of bee I have. It seems to me that at one
time Dave mentioned a bee site with pictures, but I can't seem to find
that post in my files. I did visit Dave's site, and on the
"primbees.htm" page in the upper right corner, I saw my bee!!! -- but I
still don't know his name. 

Please help.
Thanks.
