おもしろい事実

Each tiny nest cell gets a perfect ball of pollen and nectar for the baby bee to eat.

Their fuzzy bodies accidentally help plants make seeds as they fly from flower to flower.

They are solitary bees, meaning each female builds her own nest all by herself, no queen!

This bee uses tiny pebbles and sticky plant resin to build waterproof nests for its babies!
