Carpenter bees are often confused with bumble bees because they are similar in color and size, as they can grow in length from ½ an inch to 1 ½ inches in length. Unlike bumble bees, their belly is black and shiny.

Signs of a carpenter bee infestation are:

• Holes about ½ of an inch in diameter in wood that is unfinished or bare.
• Sawdust on the ground underneath the bored holes
