The most aggressive bees I tend to encounter are male carpenter bees. They are highly territorial and they'll even buzz a human to scare them off. However, there's no threat.

No threat of stinging, anyway. They will absolutely wreak havoc on a wood framed house.

Yes, sir, I see you. I see your little pile of sawdust on the fence, too. No, I'm not going to screw with it. I'm just installing this gate latch."

As far as I'm aware, it's the females that dig the holes in wood as a nesting chamber, not the males. So I don't think the males are even a thread to a wood framed house.

~~The females wouldn't be a threat either if the males could just learn to keep it in their pants~~

Technically correct is the best kind of correct.
