	In April or May, the female carpenter bee searches for a good nesting site. She will reuse and expand on existing tunnels or bore her own [3]. At times, some carpenter bees will occupy the same piece of wood with nest galleries so close to each other. However, all carpenter bees behave independently of the other bees [3]. They can live up to 3 years, and there can be one or two generations per year [4]. The females do the majority of the work. They use their strong jaws (mandibles) to excavate a clean cut, which should approximately fix the diameter of her body [5]. She will eventually lay eggs once she has chewed out these tunnels. When this is done, she places a "bee bread" (a mixture of pollen and regurgitated nectar), which serves as food for the larvae [6]. Eggs will then hatch into larvae, feeding on the pollen and then eventually becoming a pupa. Later on, new adults will emerge in the late summer, chew through, and exit the tunnel.

	Woodpeckers can locate their favorite treat by simply keeping a sharp ear to the wind. This is due to carpenter bee larvae because they are noisy and tend to attract woodpeckers [6].
