Look who has pupated! A #resinbee, Megachile campanulae, reared from a #nest in Saskatchewan. The mother that laid the egg is in the first photo #beecondo #beesofcanada

This #cuckoobee Coelioxys porterae Cockerell sat patiently watching the #leafcutterbee Megachile relativa Cresson nesting in this #beecondo. Luckily I got to take a few photos! #bees #macrophotography #photography #nature #Canon #macro

This female Hylaeus annulatus certainly checked out a few of the tunnels in this #beecondo but, as far as I know, did not make a #nest. #colletidae #maskedbees #beesofcanada #bees

Here is a video of Megachile campanulae carrying resin to her nest to plug the entrance #resinbee #beenest #beecondo

A resin bee carrying resin - Megachile campanulae (Robertson), a species that we found in SK only a few years ago. The opened nest shows the single brood cell containing a larva, busy eating the pollen & nectar mixture! #beesofcanada #resinbees #beecondo #beenests #macrophotography
