About Carpenter Bees
These bees are very unique in that males are aggressive, yet harmless because they have no stinger. Females, on the other hand, do have stingers and use them, although rarely, on humans.
Another unique attribute is that they bore into wood to create their nests. These holes usually go unnoticed by many homeowners, but when they do get noticed, that is when a large problem is usually present.
