I saw the strangest thing yesterday: a honeybee hitching a ride on the back of a male carpenter bee. Very hard to catch on camera and I wasn’t sure what I was seeing at first but it soon became clear that both bees were alive, not fighting, not fucking, the honeybee was just riding the carpenter bee like a horse! 😳 wow!

Welp, we've got in the side of the house, by the roof. We could fill the holes with wood putty, but if the wood is too far gone I'd love to just move the beam into the woods (let the bees have their home) and replace the wood with a new board.

Anybody have experience with this? I really want to avoid insecticide if I can help it, and I don't want to hurt these important .
