CARPENTER BEES

Carpenter bees look just like bumble bees except that their abdomens are shiny and smooth. Carpenter bees are frequently seen in the spring around unpainted buildings and boards. They are solitary bees, so they do not live in colonies and will rarely sting humans. Learn more about Carpenter Bees on Aerex.

BUMBLE BEES

Bumble bees physically resemble carpenter bees, except that bumble bees have hairy abdomens. Bumble bees do not make tunnels in wood, but rather nest underground or in cavities, such as in abandoned mouse burrows. In general, bumble bees are seldom problematic, except in situations where the nests are established in a location where conflict with people or pets.

HONEY BEES

Honey bees can be various shades of yellow, black, brown or orange, and their bodies are covered in light-colored hair. Unlike the wasp, honey bee colonies can survive throughout the winter, are therefore not subject to colony re-establishment each year. Honey bees will swarm to form new colonies, when the colony gets too large for hive space or new queens are produced. Honey bees are not particularly aggressive except when the nest is disturbed.
