Carpenter bees might not sting, but they CAN bite.
I was in one of the tents my dad uses to store firewood in order to unload some new logs and there was a carpenter bee flying around. I was giving her plenty of distance to do her own thing, trying to be polite, but I had to get to the back of the tent where my dad was driving the tractor up to unload (instead of having to drive around a fence and then carry the logs through the narrow passage around the drying wood.
Anyway, the bee decided that I had gotten too close, landed on the bridge of my nose, and bit me.
She sliced off a good 1/16th by 1/4 inch bit of skin and it hurt like the dickens and I promptly Noped out.

Carpenter bees ABSOLUTELY POLLENATE FLOWERS!
Using their powerful thoracic muscles carpenter bees sonicate the dry pollen grains out of the flower's anthers. This type of pollen gathering is called buzz pollination. Carpenter bees are excellent pollinators of eggplant, tomato and other vegetables and flowers.

How is it that we can't see how each of these amazing creatures has been given The Most perfect equipment to work with in the trees or the flowers, by chance or by Design.
Who is the Designer, and is there a point to All of this, surely there Must be.
Discovering the way is easy

Actually, NO male hymenopterans (ants, wasps, bees) sting or have stingers. In that gigantic order, males spend their days looking for nectar and lovers. Only the Ladies can sting.

Mine and my mother's school have carpenter bees. They live in the wooden beams that hold up the older structures of the walkways in the halls, but we've only ever seen the females.

A bad rep is a bad reputation. A bad rap is what a soccer mom does when trying to score coolness points with the youths.

Is it really called robbing if you dont accommodate for them in the first place? Like if you want to get pollinated, evolve in a way that doesnt focus on hummingbirds

To call a bee a thief while it's carrying out it's natural function is deceptive and degrading. Will you push for legislation to arrest them?

Just like with humans: Go in thru the front door, you're reproducing. Go in thru the backdoor, you're not reproducing.

Maybe if those darn flowers weren't only meant for long tongues!
Bees just gotta adapt, improvise, overcome

The flower is to blame there. If they wanted to be pollenated, it needs to be open to the other pollenators

Seems less like robbery and more like an evolutionary pressure on the flowers to not be inaccessible
