At least they are the last of mine. I believe they are Carpenter bees, but if someone knows otherwise please let me know.

They look to be. If so be aware. They are very destructive. They bore holes in the wood of your house or various other things like posts on a deck etc.
We had to hire an extrminator then some one to inspect the house.

These bees apparently do not make honey so I am wondering how they survive through the winter. Maybe they don't and lay eggs that hatch in the spring.

They eat wood fibers. They burrow into wood, make tunnels and destroy the interetity of the wood.

Nice shots of these rather stubby little fellows John - from the comments of the people in the know, sounds like they are more of a pest than an asset, but good shots nevertheless! Joe

Thank you very much, John. I believe these are females, I understand males have white on their faces.

They do appear to be carpenter bees. Nice set John.
