There is a bee that does nest inside untreated wood. This insect is called the Carpenter Bee (Xylocopa violacea). For the most part, the insects are docile. Males do not possess stingers, but will intimidate people and animals with their presence. Females possess stingers, but are only aggressive when their nests are disturbed.
These bees usually find untreated lumber or wood and chew tunnels into them. Eggs are laid and sealed up in little chambers made from wood shavings.
