Hi, no, not a mason bee - we maintain mason bee colonies ourselves in the back of the house (I put the cocoons in a tube in the fridge over winter, and set them up every spring in our mason bee houses). Also mason bees around this part of Canada are active early April-end of May, and these bees just set up their house in the last few days.

These ones are definitely bumblebees. We had some closer looks today at them as well.
