Fascinating! As a bug guy (mostly Lepidoptera) from way back, I was always curious about these bees.. I learned a whole bunch of cool stuff here - great job of documenting and production! :-)
We have just had a bout with these bees here. They were tunneling into the rafters of our patio. Since insect repellent didn't seem to work, we eventually used a raid for wasp & hornets. I assume the bees ( and lava ) were killed since there hasn't been any activity since its use.
I have had a carpenter bee make a perfect hole into the post that holds my mail box. The bee sealed it off with some type of wax. Awesome!
