We have them! They love unpainted wood! Before our wood fence was painted (left to cure the wood) these big bees chewed many holes in the wood! Now that it is painted they leave the fence alone. Not much you can do to make them go away, we have many flowers for the honey bees. We need Bees for our garden. Did not see many other Bees but the Carpenter Bees last year, Do the Carpenter Bees keep other Bees away? I would rather have Honey Bees. We have lots of Clover! So will we just have to live with them. Never been bites or stung, neither have my dogs or the stray cats.

Hi! As far as I know, Carpenter bees don't keep other bees away. But they are much bigger than for example the mason or honey bees. Where do you live? Have a great day and hope you get your honey bees this year! Thanks for taking an interest in the channel. Bee Happy

Hi Richard. Thank you for your comment and your interest. Carpenter bees live pretty much all over the world, except for the arctic and Antarctica. These short videos are meant to give an intro to different bee species. Longer format videos will be prepared and released later on the year. Once again, thank you and please let me know if you have more questions.
