Carpenter Bees

What are Carpenter Bees?

Look like a bumblebee with a shiny black abdomen. They drill a perfect round hole in bare wood and nest in the gallery.

Are they dangerous?

Males hover and bluff. Females can sting. The wood damage and the woodpeckers that follow are the real problem.

What causes them?

Unpainted fascia, decks, and eaves.

Signs in the house

Round half-inch holes in bare wood. Yellow frass under the hole. A shiny-bottom bee hovering at the board.

In Middle Tennessee

Unpainted fascia and decks across Spring Hill, Columbia, Santa Fe, and Franklin.
