I don't know - it seems as if there are more carpenter bees than usual this year....Someone told me last week that they're glad that the carpenter bees have been so busy - because they drive out the wasps(!) I don't know if this is true - I have not taken the time to observe this; I know that our little greenhouse has been FULL of the bees this spring - and I would love to think that we can still USE the greenhouse and not worry about wasp nests under every single 2x4 and in every stray plastic pot...
But I DO know that we joke all the time about the porch swing just collapsing one day - there will be virtually nothing left of the wood...and i have other friends who are paranoid about their houses - or porches - or carports...also collapsing. Really, you look at the amount of sawdust and try to translate this into what may be left of the structure involved...
Although I steer clear of these bees when they are being territorial about the redbud trees, I don't think I've ever known anyone to be stung by one - have you?
can you screen the greenhouse?
