Carpenter Bee Pest Control Explained
Have you ever noticed a big, fuzzy black or brown bee flying around your yard? The bees you are seeing are probably carpenter bees. Sometimes people mistakenly call these “Bumblebees”. A true Bumblebee is a different creature.
Carpenter bees are solitary bees that get their name from their habit of boring holes into wood to create a cavity. This cavity is where the female will lay her eggs. Often the evidence of their presence is a pile of “sawdust-like” shavings.
