Trap-Nest Design for Small Trap-nesting Hymenoptera [PDF]
The Great Lakes Entomologist, 2017 (excerpt) Many solitary bees and wasps construct brood cells in pre-existing natural cavities such as beetle borings or in excavations of pithy stems and twigs like Sambucus and Juglans.

Landscape Simplification Modifies Trap-Nesting Bee and Wasp Communities in the Subtropics [PDF]
Insects, 2020 (1) Background: Landscape simplification is a major threat to bee and wasp conservation in the tropics, but reliable, long-term population data are lacking. We investigated how community composition, diversity, and abundance of tropical solitary bees and

Occupation and Emergence of Solitary Bees in Different Types of Trap Nests
Sociobiology, 2019 The study investigated the occupation and emergence of bees that nest in trap-nests and assessed aspects of the structure of such nests, sex ratio, parasitism and mortality of bees in four areas of Baturité Massif, State of Ceará.

Nesting biology of four Tetrapedia species in trap-nests (Hymenoptera:Apidae:Tetrapediini)
Revista de Biología Tropical, 2005 The nests used in this study were obtained from trap-nests (tubes of cardboard and cut bamboo stems) placed on Santa Carlota Farm (Itaoca Section-IS, Santana Section-SS and Cerrado-Ce), Cajuru, SP, Brazil.

Artificial covering on trap nests improves the colonization of trap‐nesting wasps [PDF]
Journal of Applied Entomology, 2008 AbstractTo evaluate the role that a trap‐nest cover might have on sampling methodologies, the abundance of each species of trap‐nesting Hymenoptera and the parasitism rate in a Canadian forest were compared between artificially covered and uncovered traps.

Discovery of Mourecotelles (Hymenoptera, Apidae, Colletinae) in Brazil: nesting biology and pollen preferences of a remarkable new species of the genus [PDF]
Journal of Hymenoptera Research, 2022 Mourecotelles Toro & Cabezas (Hymenoptera, Apidae, Colletinae) currently includes only nine valid species of cellophane bees found mostly in relatively-dry regions of western South America (Chile, Argentina, Bolivia, and Ecuador).
