\"That's<\/a>
It Looks Like A Bumble Bee<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Carpenter bees look\u00a0similar to bumblebees, but they are very different.<\/p>\n

They Are Beneficial<\/strong><\/p>\n

Carpenter bees are very avid pollinators, and as such, should only be eliminated when absolutely necessary. Although unfortunately carpenter bees do not nest in hives, the best solution is to block their nesting holes and then if need be perform an extermination.<\/p>\n

They Make Fierce Parents<\/strong><\/p>\n

During mating season in April and May, carpenter bees can become quite aggressive. It may be unnerving to have a male carpenter bee flying directly at you to prevent you from getting too close to its nest, but\u00a0remember that male carpenter bees don\u2019t have the capability to sting. They are only trying to scare you away. Female carpenter bees can sting, but rarely do.<\/p>\n

They Nest in Wood<\/strong><\/p>\n

Identifying carpenter bees is as easy as noticing where they emerge from. If you see a bee flying out of a bored hole in wood about \u00bd inch in diameter, that is a carpenter bee. But the carpenter bee doesn\u2019t actually eat wood. Instead, they simply nest inside. As long as the carpenter bee is not nesting in an intrusive manner<\/a> near your living quarters, there\u2019s no reason to oust her from your property.<\/p>\n
