They are large and can appear frightening, though I've never heard of anyone being stung by one. I understand that male carpenter bees are the ones most often noticed as they hover near porches and other man-made structures, where they drill holes for nests. But male carpenter bees cannot sting. Carpenter bees do not eat wood so the damage they do is minimal, usually just a neat hole drilled in a facia board or other house timber. You can read more about them here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carpenter_bees<br /><br />Marcy -- Dave says the schedule should be posted by early next week. It will be available at www.ocrafolkfestival.org.Philiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01572532603071469799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6559692.post-28555700014326654842009-05-09T07:08:00.000-04:002009-05-09T07:08:00.000-04:00This has nothing to do with the Bedfordshire or ki...This has nothing to do with the Bedfordshire or killer bees, but when do we get a copy of the schedule for the Festival that's coming up pretty soon. Fiddler Dave told me there have been some changes. I'd love to see the schedule!
