Giant Resin Bee
Megachile sculpturalis
Adult giant resin bees inhabit woodland edges, gardens, and urban areas with suitable wood cavities for nesting. They visit flowers for nectar and collect pollen to provision their young. Females line and partition nest cells with plant resin, often using pre-existing holes in wood. Despite their large size, these solitary bees are important pollinators and are usually non-aggressive away from their nests.
