Biology of Trypoxylon in Trap Nests in Wisconsin (Hymenoptera: Sphecidae)

American Midland Naturalist, 1967
Four species of Trypoxylon were collected in sumac trap nests in Wisconsin: T. frigidum Smith, rubrocinctum Packard, striatum Provancher, and tridentatum Packard, the latter being found in one nest only. Nests of each species consisted of a linear series of cells constructed in borings of 3/16-, 1/4- and 5/16-inch diameter.

Effect of shading on trap nest utilization by hole-nesting aculeate Hymenoptera

The Canadian Entomologist, 2004
For many years, trap nests have been used to study hole-nesting bees and wasps (aculeate Hymenoptera) and to monitor their diversity and abundance (Krombein 1967; Danks 1971; Godfrey and Hilton 1983; Frankieet al.1998). Trap nests are valuable for environmental assessment (Tscharntkeet al.1998) and for agriculture through improved pollination by bees ...

Biology of Apoidea Taken in Trap Nests in Northwestern Ontario (Hymenoptera)

The Canadian Entomologist, 1965
AbstractOsmia atriventris Cr. and Megachile relativa Cr. are the most abundant bees accepting trap nests in the Black Sturgeon Lake area of Ontario. Hylaeus ellipticus (Kby.), H. verticalis verticalis (Cr.), Hoplitis albifrons albifrons (Kby.), and H. cylindrica (Cr.) are common while Hylaeus basalis (Sm.), Osmia proxima Cr., M.

Biology of Dipogon Sayi Banks (Hymenoptera, Pompilidae) in Trap-Nests in Wisconsin

Annals of the Entomological Society of America, 1957
Many of the trap-nests placed in the field for research primarily on Megachilidae were found to be utilized by the spider wasp, Dipogon sayi Banks.[2][1] Apparently little has been added to the literature[3][2] on this species since the Peckhams (ISOS) reported on the biology of sayi (= Pompilus calipterus Say) as follows: “It was on the fifth of ...

Biology of Rygchium foraminatum in Trap-Nests in Wisconsin (Hymenoptera: Vespidae)

Annals of the Entomological Society of America, 1964
Trap-nests consisting of holes bored in sumac stems were used to study the nesting biology of R. foraminatum (Saussure) in Wisconsin. Typical nests consisted of a linear series of provisioned cells and empty spaces separated by clay partitions. The means of the lengths of cells ranged from 14.9 to 17.1 mm, and those of the spaces 6.2 to 7.9 mm ...

Biology of Ancistrocerus Antilope (Panzer) (Hymenoptera, Vespidae) in Trap-Nests in Wisconsin

Annals of the Entomological Society of America, 1956
An opportunity was taken to study the nesting biology of Ancistrocerous wasps when they were found utilizing trap-nests which had been placed in the field for research primarily with Megachilidae. Most of the trap-nests were located in northern Wisconsin at the Ashland Branch Experiment Station or localities not more than 25 miles distant from the ...

Biology of Megachile Relativa Cresson (Hymenoptera, Megachilidae) in Trap-Nests in Wisconsin

Annals of the Entomological Society of America, 1958
In 1952–56, 304 nests were obtained in artificial cavities made in sumac sticks. Cells per nest were 7.7±3.1 (range, 2 to 14); usually each was made with 10 oblong-oval leaf pieces and capped with 3 circular ones. Summer generation nests were completed by July, and nests made later contained an overwintering generation.
