Bees Boring Into Wood

[SageMother]

Is there a varnish that might deter these little critters? Since they are such a problem, there might be a treatment that would make the wood undesirable!

I didn't know that either. That is amazing and something I never realised.

I would not have guessed they could bore into wood siding either! But I would hesitate to kill them, maybe you could provide an alternate and more tempting habitat nearby, like a cedar box in the garden or something. I know there is a lot of concern about the declining bee population...

We had them in our shed. One day I was out organizing and noticed a little sawdust on my shoulder so I brushed it off then I was standing there and saw the sawdust falling from one of the beams and then saw the bee. I had no idea they did this either it was intresting to watch for a bit before he dive bombed me.
