What is a Carpenter bee?
Carpenter bees are popular in North America and especially
here in New Jersey. They are bigger than most bees and float around dead wood
where they like to burrow. Most of this bee species are all black, or primarily
black with some yellow or white marking on their torso.
How do I know when I have Carpenter Bees?
When you start noticing small circles found in the wood around your home,
mostly soffit, eaves and attic openings. These bees float around parts of wood
or dead plant mostly by themselves but not that far apart. Carpenter bees also like
to swarm and float in direct sunlight and they like higher areas compared to
other bees. These bees do like their independence and will travel solo rather
than in bunches or near other bees and insets.
Do they nest?
Carpenter bees make nests by tunneling into wood, bamboo,
and similar hard plant material. The nest entrance is often a perfectly
circular hole measuring about 16 mm (0.63 in) on the underside of a
beam, bench, or tree limb. Carpenter bees do not eat wood. They discard the
bits of wood, or reuse particles to build partitions between cells.
Do Carpenter Bees sting?
Males are harmless, since they do not have a stinger while female
carpenter bees are capable of stinging, but they are docile and rarely sting
unless caught in the hand or otherwise directly provoked.
Are carpenter bees harmful to my home?
Yes, Carpenter bees have been known for gnawing away wood
anywhere around your home and property These bees will start emitting a
pollen-like residue from their abdomen that can stain and build up on the sides
of the homes they have invaded. Since these bees are very territorial, both
male and female will always return to the holes they have burrowed to complete
their larva development cycle. This is why homeowners choose to contract a
professional pest control service that can identify and treat the carpenter bee
larva properly.
