#Photography of Black Bee or Carpenter Bees with general details 🐝 🐝 🐝 🌲

in #photography6 years ago

Today I captured some picture of a bee in our garden. It is fully black coloured not like the honey bee with black and yellow colour. I gather some information about them from internet. They are actually very interesting.

Their Behaviour

Carpenter bees are traditionally considered solitary bees, though some species have simple social nests in which mothers and daughters may cohabit. Carpenter bees make nests by tunneling into wood, bamboo, and similar hard plant material such as peduncles, usually dead. They vibrate their bodies as they rasp their mandibles against hard wood, each nest having a single entrance which may have many adjacent tunnels. As a subfamily, they attack a wide range of host plants, but any one species may show definite adaptations or preferences for particular groups of plants. The entrance is often a perfectly circular hole measuring about 16 mm (0.63 in) on the underside of a beam, bench, or tree limb. Carpenter bees do not eat wood. They discard the bits of wood, or reuse particles to build partitions between cells.

Their Natural predators

Woodpeckers and other bird eat carpenter bees. Woodpeckers are attracted to the noise of the bee larvae and drill holes along the tunnels to feed on them.
