With warmer temperatures and sunshine come\u00a0blossoming trees, blooming flowers,\u00a0and pests of all kinds\u00a0coming out of hibernation. One that you might see this spring is the carpenter bee. While there are many things you can learn about this bee, there are three things you may not have known\u00a0about carpenter bees.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What They Do<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.fs.fed.us\/wildflowers\/pollinators\/pollinator-of-the-month\/carpenter_bees.shtml\">Carpenter bees<\/a> are named because they drill perfectly round holes in wood to make their nests. They use their\u00a0very strong, broad jaws to chew into dead wood, often the limbs or trunks of dead trees. Once they have made a large enough hole, called a gallery, they form pollen\/nectar loaves where the female will lay her eggs. She separates each egg with a mix of sawdust and her saliva.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Difference Between Carpenter Bees and Bumblebees<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/ento.psu.edu\/extension\/factsheets\/carpenter-bees\">Carpenter bees<\/a>\u00a0can look like bumblebees, but there some notable differences. While bumblebees are social insects, carpenter bees are not, and they have no queen as the &#8216;leader&#8217;.\u00a0Carpenter bees have a shiny, smooth, black abdomen, as opposed to the yellow, hairy one of the bumblebee. Carpenter bees also have a life expectancy of up to\u00a0three years. With one or two generations produced each year, that results in\u00a0a lot of bees.\u00a0This can make pest control difficult, but not impossible.<\/p>\n<p>Are carpenter bees bugging you?
