Carpenter bees are found in several geographical regions around the world, such as North America, South America, Africa, Australia, Europe, Asia, and some parts of the Middle East. Additionally, carpenter bees can be found throughout the island nations, sometimes referred to as Oceania.

Carpenter bees can be found in a wide range of habitats, including forests, woodlands, gardens, and urban areas. They are particularly attracted to areas with an abundance of flowering plants and trees, as these serve as their primary food source. These bees are adaptable and can thrive in both natural and human-altered landscapes.

In the United States carpenters bees can be found across the southern United States from Arizona to Florida and in the eastern United States, north to New York.
