This past year the two of us have had a real problem with carpenter bees at our house.
These carpenter bees are unusual little creatures.
I’ve always been interested in honey bees plus bumblebees plus their ways of living. I feel that there’s nothing more fascinating than watching bees at labor inside their hives. I love watching documentaries about bees plus their queen plus the drones. However, I had never even heard of carpenter bees before this year. And let me tell you, I have had a excruciating experience with meeting them for the first time! Carpenter bees are bees that love wood. They bore into wood plus they also feed on nectar from flowers… Carpenter bees love to feed on plus make their nests in wood, whether it’s outdated piles of lumber or legitimately in your house! The people I was with and I had a problem with both this Spring. The people I was with and I found a large bees’ nest in a pile of leftover lumber that the two of us had outside by our barn. Upon closer inspection, the two of us figured out that the two of us had a bunch of carpenter bees living out there. Then, to my surprise plus dismay, the two of us found that the two of us had another bunch of them living in the eaves underneath our roof! Since carpenter bees love wood, the two of us found out that whichever bee removal specialist the two of us used would have to use a specialized pesticide treatment to get rid of all of the carpenter bees. They would have to treat all the affected areas with this pesticide treatment, including the nest, in order to eliminate the bees. After that, they need to seal up all of the holes that the bees made so that no other insects will come along plus populate the nests afterwards.
