Carpenter Bees vs Bumblebees - do you know the difference!?
The difference easiest way to tell is Carpenter bees have a shiny black bum where bumblebees are yellow/black and fuzzy all over!
If you have wood on your home, shed, gazebo etc watch for small holes in the wood with waxy-yellowish splatter underneath. This is a sure sign of Carpenter Bees.
