[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 526501, member: 2211"] [COLOR=#008080][SIZE=2]Definitely NOT bumbles. They actually look mostly like your regular honey bees. They are NOT aggressive either. I'm just paranoid and afraid to walk through the swarm. Seriously, our yard in midday looks like a scene from a horror movie about bees. H is the one who said they were carpenter bees - he went on line and researched a little and this is what he came up with. I'm just going with it. To me a bee is a bee. Those big giant black ones that look similar to bumbles? We call those Japanese fighters - they actually will turn and look at you and chase you. We have those in and around our shed - they bore into the wood. I hate those the most. My H does rock when it comes to saving living animals and plants...it's true. He wept when we had to cut down an old pine in our yard. I have pictures of him standing next to the giant stump. He was going to make a totem pole out of it, but instead he used the wood for the outdoor firepit. He was truly upset. A few weeks ago he went out to cut down a maple on our front yard that we discovered 15 years later is growing on top of and next to our water well...it has to come out. He got his chainsaw, walked out there and turned around - he couldn't do it. He did it about a week or so later and it broke him up. He feels guilty.
