Is it normal for carpenter bees to get high with me?
I have a large deck. All wood. Damn bees chewed holes for as long as ive owned the home. They have a few main holes they come back to each year. I tried to get rid of them long ago and I was bit by a wasp instead. So I've made peace with them, the bees. Not wasps. And I usually go out on my back porch to smoke. And I've been noticing the bees always come out when I smoke and hover near me, like they want a free high. After we smoke, and I begin to leave they all behind to... Fight? Wrestle? I don't know, it could be passionate hugging. I don't know. (ps how long do bees live?)
