They build nests in wood. Look for a hole a lil smaller than a dime. I have a few at my house & am curious hor to get rid of them too. Wasp & Hornet spray might help

Carpenter bees nest in wood.
To get rid of them, you have to move.
Bumble bees nest in the ground.
Just leave them alone, they won't bother you.

If you leave them alone, like Bogie said, you should be fine. They will hardly ever attack unless in packs.

Every year they will drill holes in our garage and my father will go out to work while my mother protects him from the packs with her purple fly swatter.
