When the weather gets warmer, they mate and begin building new tunnels or enlarging existing ones to accommodate their eggs and larvae. These bees prepare special chambers for their young by leaving a mix of pollen and nectar to serve as food. The chambers are then closed up to keep the eggs safe.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Summer and Fall<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>After going through the larval stage during development, young carpenter bees leave their tunnels in late summer in search of nectar. As the weather gets cooler, they go back to their tunnels to spend the winter months.<\/p>\n<p>If you have trouble with these bees at any time of year, it\u2019s important to have <a href=\"http:\/\/www.allisonpest.com\/blog\/2017\/05\/19\/have-you-been-dive-bombed-by-the-eastern-carpenter-bee-yet\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Monmouth County NJ pest control companies<\/a> handle them, so you don\u2019t get stung.
