Carpenter Bees make honey?

No they make your shed and porch fall down haha

I shoot Carpenter Bees out of the air with my Daisy Pal BB gun. The last mistake they make is zoom up on me and hover in place. They can't dodge a BB at 275 fps.

Hell if I know. Do they make carpenters?

they love old barns and structures built with saw mill lumber. they bore holes into anything constructed of wood and keep tunneling as they go. older treated lumber kept them at bay but the newer stuff doesn’t.  they can be destructive if you let them get out of hand.

Just as destructive are the woodpeckers that treat carpenter bee hives as all-you-can-eat buffets.

 

Carpenter bees are fairly important pollinators, but I respect that people don't want them (and the birds that think they're delicious) boring holes their fences and whatnot.

my point exactly 

my buddy Josh in the Frio uphill from Garner SP, fly fishing the run for Texas brook trout (endemic Guadalupe bass)

and he took this photo of me on the downstream side of the crossing

I guess if you’re going to be stuck in an attic all day, this ones not a bad one to be in 

 

i can’t even fit a 3 foot Christmas tree sideways in mine

Sorry, little buddy. This is how you and your sister's exorbitant chew toy bill gets paid.

Are the squirrels the problem or the alarm?

Well clearly the squirrels are the problem. Otherwise the alarm wouldn't be a squirrel alarm.

It's a never ending fight.
