Default WWVBOT do?

Like in lots of this Country, the honey bee population is almost non-existent here. I grow a garden every year, and I have fruit trees, so I need pollination. I've always had lot of carpenter bees and agressive little black bumblebees, and I understand that they do a fair job of pollination.

Problems: The carpenter bees bore tunnels in the cypress wood my house is made from. The cypress is stained and clear-coated, but that doesn't deter them like paint would. When honey bees were in large supply, I just tried to kill as many of the carpenter bees as I could; that's no longer smart. The small black aggressive bees are eager to attack and sting people, so I give them a wide swath.

Is there any solution to the damage the carpenter bees do vs. gettng stung by black bees vs. needing pollination?

One of the things I'm going to miss with selling our house and downsizing is the gardening. Or I should say eating the vegetables from the garden. My wife did most of the work, and arthritis was making it too difficult. We will satisfy our gardening hobby at the new place by growing lots of different herbs. We always have grown them, but they will now be pretty much all we grow.

Yep, they will reduce the population.

ebay.com/itm/like/252275544129?lpid=82&chn=ps&ul_noapp=true

they are hard to kill. I have used a termiticide to kill them. I only spray where they bore. don't know if the bumble bees are killed or not.
