Nomada parasitizes their host cells by laying eggs in host nests while the female host bee is foraging for pollen, or nectar. The female Nomada oviposits in the host's cells before host oviposition and nest cell closure. [5] The female cuckoo bee will lay her eggs in the host's nest and leave. Some species are known to bury the egg at right ...
The sweat bee has a simple nesting architecture consisting of a vertical tunnel into the ground ending in a compartment reserved for brood-rearing. [3] They nest underground, like Lasioglossum zephyrus, but they do not form the same complex structures. [6] Nest entrances are frequently concealed using scattered foliage. [7]
Halictus ligatus is a species of sweat bee from the family Halictidae, among the species that mine or burrow into the ground to create their nests. [1] H. ligatus, like Lasioglossum zephyrus [2], is a primitively eusocial bee species, in which aggression is one of the most influential behaviors for establishing hierarchy within the colony, [3] and H. ligatus exhibits both reproductive division ...
Various species of solitary bees have different needs. The vast majority of these nest in tunnels dug in bare soil, but carpenter, mason, and leaf cutter bees nest in a tube. Only the latter two types nest in ready-made tubes in a bee hotel. They have species-specific preferences for tube diameter (2–10 mm) and length (about 10 cm).
The euglossine bees, also commonly known as “orchid bees”, are best known for the male bees’ collection and attraction of fragrance produced by orchids and other flowers. The exact role of fragrances in the mating system remains unclear, as they are not observed to use them in an obvious manner to attract females or mark their territory. [18]
O. lignara bees, like many insects, can select the gender of the egg they lay by fertilizing the egg, or not. Unfertilized eggs are males, while fertilized eggs are females. The adult bee lays female eggs in the back of the burrow, and the male eggs towards the front. On average, she lays about three males and one to two females per cavity.
