Carpenter bees (and we have plenty) think of pine wood- used as fascia
near the top of our coffee shack roof, --they think of pine as a
picnic. I don't think they are agressive to humans -but they honestly
eat wood. Above our bedroom at night sometimes, in the narrow tunnels
they have drilled, those carpenter bees have "bee fights" and I have
to get out the broom handle and tap their sleeping places-- our upper
ceiling--to remind them to be quiet.
