What you need to know about Carpenter Bees.

Carpenter bees resemble bumblebees, but they differ by their hairless, shiny abdomen. The Carpenter bee makes its nest by way of tunneling into bamboo, wood, and other hard plant material. This solitary pest borrows itself by using their powerful mandibles to drill holes into the wood, since they do not have teeth. It only takes a few hours to drill a hole a few inches deep.

You can keep away carpenter bees with peppermint, tea tree and lemon oils. Filling old or empty holes will help prevent extensive carpenter bee damage.

Carpenter bees are not generally aggressive however, the male will become aggressive when protecting its nest. Female carpenter bees will only sting if they are directly provoked. Carpenter bees can damage outdoor furniture, decor, and they can even damage a home. In addiction to boring holes they also leave a yellow-brown smattering around your home from their feces.
