Carpenter Bees
Images Taken On Mt. Lemmon by kenne
Like honey bees, carpenter bees feed on pollen and nectar. They do not eat wood, but use exposed dead wood to tunnel into the wood creating galleries for their nests. These bees are not social like honey bees, living a solitary life in their galleries.
