The bees body and wings include a hologram finish that adds depth and visual contrast. Carpenter bees generally range from half an inch to one inch in length and are easily identified by their smooth, shiny black abdomens, which differ from the fuzzy appearance of bumblebees. **History** Carpenter bees are solitary bees from the genus Xylocopa and are best known for nesting in wood. They bore tunnels into untreated softwoods such as pine, cedar, and redwood to create nesting spaces. Unlike honeybees or bumblebees, carpenter bees do not live in colonies and instead live and nest independently. **Ordering** If you have any questions about this 1 oz silver product, BGASC customer service is available at 888-992-4272.
