Carpenter Bees

Carpenter bees look like large bumblebees but have a shiny, hairless abdomen. Unlike bumblebees, they tunnel into wood to lay eggs, creating perfectly round holes in decks, fences, and wooden siding. While males cannot sting, they often hover aggressively near nests. Over time, their burrowing can weaken wood structures and attract woodpeckers looking for larvae.
