I recently constructed a wooden structure to house my smoker and grill. I immediately stained the entirety of the outside and parts of the interior of the cabinet. But there were a few parts of the interior that I didn't get to, having run out of stain and sealer.
It didn't take long for the carpenter bees that heavily populate our area to locate the new pine and begin burrowing. Their jaws are incredibly effective and surprisingly noisy.
Now I'll have to hurry to finish the project, lest nothing be left to stain.

The burrowing of the carpenter bee is a quiet but fascinating process, showing how nature works with patience and precision. These bees carve tunnels into wood to create safe spaces for nesting, relying on instinct and steady effort rather than speed. Watching this behavior reminds us how focused work can still feel demanding over time. In a similar way, students facing nonstop assignments can feel worn down, and the thought pay someone to do my online class often appears during burnout. Both situations highlight how sustained pressure can push anyone to seek relief and balance.
