Hello and happy Monday. Today, I want you to "BEE" aware! Spring is in the air and the bee is looking to pollinate. Bees are essential to our renewal of resources each year. This particular bee is a carpenter bee. He like to bore holes and tunnels in wood - even around your house - but doesn't really cause any structural damage because it's all pretty shallow damage. The males of the Carpenter Bee are unable to sting so that's a plus in their favor. The females can and will sting but only if highly provoked - so leave them alone and no one gets hurt. Bumblebees (the ones with the fuzzy abdomen instead of the black, shiny one of the Carpenter Bee) do not like to sting either, but will if provoked. I guess, all in all, we are all pretty safe around bees; just don't go all crazy around them; let them do their job and we'll all eat better later.
I hope you had a fun and sting free Monday. Thanks for looking. Bee happy. See you tomorrow.
