Carpenter bees love cabins and wooden structures!. We treat to help minimize the bees. A bit of information : Carpenter bees are beneficial pollinators. The females have a stinger but very unlikely to sting unless you PROVOKE them. Male Carpenter bees do not possess a stinger. The bees emerge in the spring. “The females are discreet, sneaking in and out of their holes. But the males are territorial. You’ll see them hovering around, battling and chasing each other.
