Small Carpenter Bee
Xylocopa frontalis
Small carpenter bees occur around flowering habitats with dead wood, stems, or timber suitable for nesting. Adults feed on nectar and pollen, visiting flowers with a loud, rapid wingbeat. Females excavate individual tunnels in wood to provision brood cells, while males often hover defensively near nesting areas.
