Why Carpenter bees differ from other types of bee

People often think that all bees are the same and that they all do the same thing and react the same way in situations but you will find that this is not true as in fact there are many different types of bee

Carpenter bees for example are very different from other types of bees that you will find and experience because they have very different features that indeed mark them out as quite sufferer from other types of bee

You will find that carpenter bees are actually quite large and do tend to have shiny back features with a slightly lighter face than other types of bees that you will find and encounter around

It’s because of this fact carpenter bees are often mistaken for their common law cousins the common bumble bee which is often seen out and about in the environment

The reason that carpenter bees are often mistaken for bumble bees is that male carpenter bees often have a habit of dancing around quite aggressively in front of people which often makes people think that these male bumble bees are bumble bees

This is a mistake that quite a lot of people make especially when it comes to carpenter bees extermination as people think that they are getting rid of bumble bees or indeed yellow jackets when in fact they are getting rid of carpenter bees

In fact the thing with carpenter bees is that they are very populous and very active member of the bee family and there are known to be almost five hundred species of carpenter bee throughout the entire world that have so far been found and recorded

They are easy to recognize because of one distinguishing factor alone that marks them out as different from other types of bee that you will find in the natural world

This is that they are the only type of bee that bores into timber and wood to make their homes instead of making their nests in trees, bushes and underground like other types of bees do

You can work out whether you have had a visit from a carpenter bee because they leave round circular holes in timber and wood that measure about 16 mm in diameter

Carpenter bees will also not just bore holes in any type of wood or timber, they especially look for untreated wood and timber that has not been painted or varnished so it is easy for them to bore into
