As indicated by their name, carpenter bees can cause serious damage to wooden structures. Knowing how to look out for them and get rid of them accordingly is therefore essential for protecting your outdoor furniture and wooden garden features.
Part of the Xylocopa genus of the Apidae, or bee family, carpenter bees are common in US backyards, and while they are important pollinators of many flowering plants, they can burrow into sheds, pergolas, wooden outdoor furniture and much more.
