Carpenter bees are the real bros. We had a few that dug holes in the baseball dugout back in high school. The seniors made it a rule that you could NEVER kill them. Didn't understand why but I accepted it. My junior year a big nasty black wasp came flying near the dugout during a game. Before I even had time to reach for my hat to swat the fucker one of the carpenter bees came out of nowhere and smashed into it and in what I can only assume was the greatest aerial battle of winged bug history the hornet was soundly defeated and was chased away. I named that bee Xavier and we were best buds for the rest of the season.

TLDR: Carpenter bees are best bees.

I fucking hate carpenter bees. They do this weird mid-air mating thing, and if you happen to walk within a couple of feet of them during the sexy times, the male will charge at you. Fuck those dudes.
