http://www.theprimalprepper.com Carpenter bees are burrowing in the wooden stands of my aquaponics. If you have any ideas of what to do about this, please share in the comments!

  • @TheBuilderguy1 I'm sure you're right that they will eventually destroy the integrity of the wood. On the other hand, I've discovered over the past year that I have virtually no pollinators that come up this high for my plants. Because of that (and the fact that the wood structure is very simple and easy to replace) I decided to leave them.

  • spray WD-40 in the hole.... get ready to kill the bee that comes out... If you leave them be, they will ruin the integrity of the board, causing collapse.

  • @DragonTiger666 That was pretty much my feeling as well

  • Carpenter bees are normally not dangerous, so besides the structural issue that your wood is getting weaker there is no other issue really.

    My suggestion is to add a stand next to the hole if it is more in the middle of the wood and have a close look at it.

    if it does not move within a couple of weeks, do not worry about it.
