Interesting that I've read so many telling about how carpenter bees cannot
sting, but yet I've been a recipient of just such a sting.  Was I mistaken or
was I bitten? I had a very difinite puncture with a wheal.  I disturbed the
bee and it directly landed on my wrist with a noticible reaction.  I've lived
around them all my life and this was the first time to receive a negative
experience.  I'd rather be stung by honey bees.
