[quote=Anonymous]Poor carpenter bees. They get such a bad rap. This day in age when mass extinction of pollinators is occurring and becoming such a major problem, people are exterminating carpenter bees because they burrow a little bit into their wood. Male carpenter bees are extremely friendly and non-aggressive. They are known as big lovable teddy bears of the bee world. They are hearty pollinators, so if you have a green thumb and the landscaping of your home has a lot of plant life, they're good to have around. They really don't cause that much damage at all, and generally avoid painted wood, thus if you really are concerned, must paint over the area. Nearly allllll homes have insect problems: ants, termites, bees, spiders....whatever. Carpenter bees are very low on the list in terms of impact, and I'd actually love to have them around. Carpenter bees don't make huge nests or colonies in your wood. They are solitary and don't have queens. [/quote]
