| Description |
The Virginia Carpenter bee. The bane of those who build with Cedar Siding, have redwood picnic tables, or who have barns made with softwoods. Other than the recently invaded Lithurgus chrysurus (we certainly will hear more about this wood eater in coming years), this is our only bee int he East that regularly makes holes in wooden structures. These then become family dwellings (do a google search) where there can be little family groups living inside year round. The essentially don't sting and real structural damage (rather than superficial) is rare, but if you want to control them the only way to do that is to plug their holes with water putty or caulk as soon as you find them, otherwise they will reuse and expand their cavities year after year. If you build with rough, soft woods outside you carpenter bees homes, so partially it is your own fault. Photo by Hannah Sutton. Bee from P.G.
