Lots of reasons why this is a bad idea.

For one, they're wild animals, meaning they could be carrying parasites or pesticide and transfer that right to your T.

Also, female carpenter bees can sting your T and that could prove fatal depending on the spider's size. There's just no reason to risk it when we have access to a plethora of farmed and/or captive bred insects from crickets to worms to beetle larvae to roaches and even things like grasshoppers and locusts depending on the time and place. Like I don't see what nutrients a bee would offer that these much juicier and healthier options lack.

I never had a single issue and Ive owed so many tarantulas. I do live away from the city and i know there arent pesticides. And I also never have any parasite issue. They could over power a lot of stuff, im surprised people in the comments think a bee, yes, a bee.. could potentially be a risk. 🤦‍♂️ ive fed one inch tarantulas wasps and bees so many times ..
Well there no shortage of feeders in Canada I used to watch john3800 feeding videos and probably will watch some again eventually. Dono why he hasn’t been on here In years, maybe he uses a Canadian forum ?

yeah if anything it remind me of those cruel Japanese bug fights and stuff . No reason to risk a pet dying over these gladiator type fights . And centepde venom can kill a spider also , so can wasps stings .

As bees are one of the main pollinators in nature, and are already on the incline, especially the Bumble Bee , seems a little ludicrous to speed up the demise of crops being unavailable due to lack of pollinators and people's ignorance.
