Carpenter bees *(Xylocopa violacea)* are large, solitary bees known for their habit of nesting in wood. Found in temperate regions worldwide, they inhabit forests, gardens, and structures made of wood. Carpenter bees have robust bodies and shiny black abdomens. They construct galleries inside wooden structures, where they lay eggs and provision them with pollen. While they may cause damage to wooden structures, carpenter bees play a vital role in pollination.
