I haven't seen this one before! I have a big variety of bees thanks to my native wildflowers, but this lady is a newcomer. Any idea what she is? I'm in Ohio.

It looks too small to be a carpenter bee and it looks like there's a decent amount of hair on her thorax, which in my experience would rule out carpenter bee. Probably Melissodes bimaculatus.
That seems probable - they are in the area.
