Do carpenter bees and honey bees make different sounds?

Yes, carpenter bees and honey bees produce different sounds. Carpenter bees create a distinctive buzzing noise, often described as a deep, throaty drone, especially when they are hovering or flying. In contrast, honey bees have a higher-pitched buzz, which can vary in intensity depending on their activity. The differences in sound are primarily due to their size and wing structure, as well as their flight patterns.
