Mystery Solved
Steven Baird from Ordinary Handsome sent me a link that identified what my Bee or Humming Bee actually was. It is a Hummingbird Moth.
Thanks for Visiting!

Beautiful photos. It’s very different from the hummingbird moths we get out here.

Hummingbird moths are attracted to our butterfly bushes, so we get a lot of them. The cats catch them, bring them inside and let them go. I end up chasing hummingbird moths around the house to catch them and put them outside.

Lol I am glad I don’t let my cats outside. So far I have only seen 1 hummingbird moth and it along with a ton of bees are attracted to my Bee Balm plant. I do plan on getting more

I think it’s a distinction you only have in English. In French both are butterflies. Papillons.
