[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am visited by carpenter bees for a few weeks each year and am happy to coexist with them. They play an important role in the ecosystem. After all, you can have flowers and vegetable gardens without pollinators. I can't imagine wanted to poison these delightful bees that pose no threat to us. [/quote] I’ve been stung by one. Back of my knee while sitting on an outdoor chaise. Flew under my leg and then immediately stung me. Didn’t hurt much initially, but within 24 hours a lump the size of sliced avocado had developed around the sting site. It was intensely itchy and painful. I needed several injections of steroids to reduce the swelling and itching. It was horrible in the long run for something that hurt very little to begin with. [/quote] It must have been a girl, or a different type of bee. [/quote]
