Ganoderma tropicum , one of the many species of bracket fungi with a waxy crust attached to a tree.
Fungi apparently can neither be classified as plant or animal as they have characteristics of each. They have no chlorophyll like plants which makes them in turn not requiring the sun to survive and at the same time take away the ability to manufacture their own energy. Food for fungi is obtained from dead and decaying matter. 
Fungi play an important role in nature by recycling nutrients through breaking down decaying plant and animal matter and returning important elements such as carbon and nitrogen back to nature.
Carpenter bees cannot prepare wax and therefore do not built nest as in the common honey bees we know of. Their nests are tunnels burrowed in flower stalk or wood, therefore the name Carpenter bees.
It is also not clear as to whether the male or female has this blue colored body. The information from a sighting of a similar blue bee in Singapore states that the female is mainly black but at the same time says it is not sure how the male looks like.
A stamp issued by the Singapore postal authorities illustrates a specimen that is black in color. 
For those who are interested to know more, do visit the site mentioned below which has help me in attempting to identify this particular bee.
