No, it is not possible to prepare bait for a carpenter bee. A better approach is to spray an insecticide in visible nest holes and wait a few days for it to take effect.

Carpenter bees are not attracted to food baits like insects are. They are more drawn to untreated wood for nesting. To deter them, consider painting or staining wooden surfaces, as they are less likely to bore into treated wood.

Do honeybees sting woodbees?

In theory, honey bees will sting anything that poses a threat to either a specific honey bee, or to the hive, including other insects, mammals, farm equipment, birds, clothing, etc. Stinging is their primary mode of defense. I have not heard of a specific case where a honey bee has stung a wood bee (or carpenter bee), but if a perceived threat from a carpenter bee was registered with one or more honey bees, or the hive, I have every reason to believe that honey bees would sting a carpenter bee. Incidentally, the opposite is also true, a carpenter bee could, in theory, sting a honey bee.
