~20% of bees are nest parasites. Nest parasites don't collect pollen and instead lay eggs in nests of other bees. Native BC nest parasites include species of Nomada (pic'd), some Bombus (pic'd), Sphecodes, Stelis, Coelioxys, Epeolus, and Triepeolus #bcnativebees #cleptoparasite

"Some #bees are social, some are solitary, and then some bees refuse to fit into our tidy ways of categorizing insect life. One such #bee is Halictus rubicundus, one of BC’s many native #sweatbees." Check out this article by Jens Ulrich in our newsletter: bit.ly/Mar2021Nwsltr
