Forest habitats and plant communities strongly predicts Megachilidae bee biodiversity [PDF]
PeerJ, 2023 Megachilidae is one of the United States’ most diverse bee families, with 667 described species in 19 genera. Unlike other bee families, which are primarily ground nesters, most megachilid bees require biotic cavities for nesting (i.e., wood, pithy stems,

Leafcutting Bees, Megachilidae (Insecta: Hymenoptera: Megachilidae: Megachilinae)
EDIS, 2005 Leafcutting bees are important native pollinators of North America. They use cut leaves to construct nests in cavities (mostly in rotting wood). They create multiple cells in the nest, each with a single larva and pollen stored for the larvae to eat ...

Reproductive potential and nesting effects of Osmia rufa (syn. bicornis) female (Hymenoptera: Megachilidae) [PDF]
Journal of Apicultural Science, 2016 The red mason bee Osmia rufa is a solitary bee belonging to the family Megachilidae, and is prone to nest in aggregations. Each female builds a nest separately in pre-existing cavities such as holes in wood and walls or empty plant stems. This is done by

A cytochrome P450 insecticide detoxification mechanism is not conserved across the Megachilidae family of bees [PDF]
Evolutionary ApplicationsRecent work has demonstrated that many bee species have specific cytochrome P450 enzymes (P450s) that can efficiently detoxify certain insecticides. The presence of these P450s, belonging or closely related to the CYP9Q subfamily (CYP9Q‐related), is ...
