[quote=Anonymous]Yes, this sounds like black carpenter bees. The males cannot sting. They are trying to intimidate you away from a nest (the female can sting but rarely does). It could be the same bees as last year, since they live a couple years, but they don't "know" you. Even with a Trex deck you likely have wood supports, wood house trim, wood fence, etc. Look for bee-sized round holes, or piles of sawdust. In this area they are active in April - May and then mostly go away. Most people ignore then as they are largely harmless and great polinators so it's a shame to exterminate them if you can avoid it. However, I totally understand it's annoying. See if an exterminator can find the area they're defending and plug it up.[/quote]
