One of the most common bee species in our area is the carpenter bee. It is larger than other bees since it can reach an inch and a half. Male carpenter bees are a mixture of orange and black while females are black. They’re like bumblebees. You can tell the difference easily since carpenter bees do not have a hairy abdomen.
Reasons You Have Carpenter Bees At Home
Learning why carpenter bees invade properties can help you keep them away. Although they can approach homes for other reasons, they tend to do so because they’re looking for places to build nests. In general, they want to build nests in softwoods that haven’t been painted or stained. Once they’ve bored holes in the wood, they’re going to raise their young in the small cavity. Staining or painting your softwoods can keep them away.
Carpenter Bee Dangers
You’re likely concerned that someone in your house is going to get stung by these pests. Unfortunately, this is a real concern. Just remember that male carpenter bees do not have stingers. Although they cannot sting, they’re aggressive and will attempt to defend their nests. As for female carpenter bees, they can sting. However, you’ll be surprised to learn that they’re not as aggressive. If you stay away from a female carpenter bee, you’ll be okay. When some people are bitten, they’ll be injected with venom. If this happens, you need to get medical assistance immediately.
Finally, carpenter bees will attract woodpeckers. Sadly, this makes the situation worse because woodpeckers will damage your home further.
