Functional resin use in solitary bees
Ecological Entomology, Volume 47, Issue 2, Page 115-136, April 2022., 2022 Overall, more than 30% of bee species depend on non‐floral resources such as resin, which is used in nesting for nest structures, chemical camouflage, defence, moisture regulation, and its anti‐microbial properties. Resin usage appears to be constrained by environmental and physiological factors and may play a major role in determining the ambient nest
