I used to kill bees, spiders, even centipedes until I learned a little something about them. Now I let them free to do their thing.

Thank you for this post. We have some every spring on our porch. The damage is minimal, so I’ve just let them

bee (😂). I’ve found that I enjoy watching them hover around so I’m happy to share space .

Thank you for this wonderful information about carpenter bees! Having lived in a redwood house in the woods on the Brandywine, we always coexisted with these bees and were concerned about what to do. Now I know our benign neglect was OK.

Wonderful read!

I adore carpenter bees - even though I have brush piles and old logs on my property, they like to make their homes in my fence. Which I’m ok with.
