Don’t Fall Off The Roof Because Of Persistent Bees
There are large carpenter bees and small ones. The small ones seem to live in groups, while the large ones are loners. You’ll often see the large carpenter bees when on the roof of old buildings, especially barns, because they live there, too. They’re very territorial and will hover in the air like a tiny helicopter staring at you from a couple feet away, trying to intimidate you. If any other insect happens to fly past at that moment, the carpenter bee will chase after it until it leaves its territory, then it will come back to you as if to ask "What the heck are you still doing here?" I’ve never known anyone to be stung by one, although I’ve had to swat a few with my slate ripper just to get rid of the persistent little devils. Their danger lies in their ability to startle you, a danger you can’t afford when working at heights.
