How to Relocate your Carpenter Bees

5/25/2021

isCarpenter bees are beneficial to the environment because they are excellent pollinators. Unfortunately, if they nest in or around your home, carpenter bees can cause extensive damage to softwoods such as pine and cedar.  They sell traps to kill them but why let them die if they are good pollinators and beneficial to the environment. You can take this trap and catch them and when you catch them instead of leaving them in the trap to die you can relocate them away from your home or wherever they are causing you problems. 

This trap is ready for when they crawl in you can take the trap and unscrew the jar lid to relocate them to a better environment for the bee.

Hello,

My husband and I want to move some stored boards we have, that became a carpenter bee nest in spring/summer. (The boards are in a shed.) We don't want to kill the hibernating bees. Our plan is to remove the board(s) in late fall when the temperature is near freezing and the bees are dormant. We'd like to take the board(s) and bees to another location a good distance, away from our home.,
We have not found information about this method of relocating carpenter bees.

Is this method safe for the bees?

We would love to live a slower paced life but that is just not possible for what we are trying to accomplish. We both work full time jobs for others plus have our own business. We spend most of our time working. That is what we do! We love gardening, caring for our animals and making handmade bath products such as Rhonda Lynne's Ole Fashioned Soap.
