    From our Master Gardener friends...
    As pollinators, carpenter bees are generalists in our gardens and landscapes. They may be found foraging on a number of different species. Like their close cousins, the bumblebees, carpenter bees are early morning foragers. Carpenter bees are excellent pollinators of eggplant, tomato and other vegetables and many types of flowers.

    The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

        FYI: A can of cheap spray paint can do wonders for prevention. Spray anything that isn't already painted (like the underside of swings, porch ceilings (actually, these usually are painted) et al. It doesn't show (depending) and the bees usually avoid paint like the plague.

          Just for grins, I wanted to see how far these tunnels went, so I slipped a long skinny cable tie (because it can bend easily) in the hole, and it went in SEVEN INCHES before I heard the buzzing inside that indicated I was approaching the bee.

          In all of the holes, the tunnel goes up about half an inch, then turns West, horizontally.

            They are not listed under insects of Alberta. But we have 18 species of honeybees!
            You have 18 species of "bumble bees." We only have one honeybee in North America, Apis mellifera.
