BLACKSBURG — At first, you notice just a small hole in the wooden rails of your porch, or near the eaves of your roof. A single, large bee — looking much like a bumble bee — enters and leaves the hole periodically.
If you’re like most people, the very next thing you do is panic — you’re sure these little insects are drilling their way into hundreds, perhaps thousands, of dollars in damage.
What you’ve discovered are carpenter bees, says a Virginia Tech entomologist. But what you won’t discover is that much-dreaded damage.
“Of course people see the holes and assume these things are doing a tremendous amount of damage,” said Rick Fell, associate professor of entomology at Virginia Tech and an expert on bees and wasps. “But it’s simply a single turtnel, and inside that tunnel, they raise their young.”
