Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of guys...
...like perfectionistic termites. A 7/16 drill bit fits snugly in their holes.Wow! They're like giant termites!
Yes, indeed, WASPs do bite ! This university friend of mine bit me real good. At least she claimed to be Protestant....Our Muddobbers Sting ...Very well INDEED ! and they will put a nest anywhere that's inconvenient for man !
our Paper wasps are the same way. and some flying wasp of a different manor really loves open engine parts oil lines, carburetors
manifolds and small hoses are always plugged up by them ! these guys will crawl into a 1/4" fuel line 2 feet down and build a nest for a single egg , paralyze a bug and incase it with the egg.... so the new young emerge with a full stomach ! but they always leave a blockage !
that takes a stiff wire with a sharp point to bust through ! almost like concrete !
......they truly are a PITA !!!!

Bob gets the prize for coming up with a great carpenter bee joke.Um, perhaps your amorous intentions were not appreciated ?
I think I'ed leave that one alone or she might pull you through that 7/16" hole !
LOL
Bob.....
justa joke.I get the joke but, Dang ! WTH? Seriously, that's not really your arm right?
Epic Dude. Well at the very least you got her attention. When you walk away with scratch marks, you know you've done well....However, a redhead did once backhand me across the face, leaving 4 bleeding fingernail gouges.
I bring out the best in women.
Scorpions ! What a creepy nightmare. I hope to find a solution.
We have four kinds of bees which swarm around the house and shed. The worst are the carpenter bees that bore perfect 7/16 holes in your exposed wood.

and then they nest:

so I had to paint every inch of exposed wood (my house is 100% wood), which doesnt always work, so I built these traps which work fairly well. They are attracted to the hole and fall in:
I enjoy watching them collect in the bottle and fight with each other to the death
When my redheaded girlfriend got angry, she reminded me of Barbara Stanwyck on The Big Valley.Epic Dude. Well at the very least you got her attention. When you walk away with scratch marks, you know you've done well....
Found that one on the web.....Sigh ! Hormones make men do the strangest things ,... most not good for the health either !
I just wann'a know How you took that close up Photo of that bee ! Sure looks human ! I guess that's why their so darn smart !
maybe we should try to communicate with them ? ,.... no that's a bad idea if they found out how stupid we are they would just take over and we'ed be drilling the 7/16" holes for them !
