Carpenter Bees

Often, you will find Carpenter bees in the late-spring or early summer hovering outside your home, searching for a mate and a favorable site to construct a nest. Carpenter bees spend the winter as adults in wood within abandoned nest tunnels. They emerge in the spring, and after mating, the female bee excavates tunnels in wood to lay her eggs. The entrance holes and tunnels are perfectly round and about the diameter of your finger. Female Carpenter bees may excavate new tunnels for egg laying or enlarge old holes.
