おもしろい事実

Each female bee lays her eggs in a line, creating separate rooms for each baby bee inside the stem.

These bees are often metallic blue or green, making them look like tiny flying jewels in the sun.

Unlike giant carpenter bees, these 'little' ones prefer to nest in the soft pith of plant stems!

When a baby bee grows up, it chews its way out of its tiny cell and then out of the stem!
