			You need to treat the larva and the nest. Check out this site: http://www.bugsaway.com/pest/carpenter_bees.htm

			The 2 most dreaded flying insects while growing up in S. Cal...the Carpenter Bee (no, they don't sing...but they do sting), and the tarantula hawk.  I remember driving in E. San Diego and a tarantula hawk flew inside.  It was a sight to see...brakes go on (screech!) and 2 guys boil out of the car (VW)...ah, the good ole days.  I live in S. TX now, where do you begin.
