I know this may seem odd to a lot of people, but birds, yes woodpeckers too,
can't smell.  There are many many wives tales about not touching a nest or
the mother will abandon it etc...., but not true.  Woodpeckers either see or
hear the insects they go after.  Just my two cents.

We've had woodpeckers try to break into an overwintering shed - my guess,
they could smell the bees inside since the hole in the wall was by a vent.
