Nesting in Darkness: Solitary Ground Nesting Bees
Manage episode 378637725 series 3517222
Have you heard of solitary ground-nesting bees? Yes? No? Either way, this podcast is for you!
Unlike honey bees or bumble bees that live in colonies, solitary bees do it alone and interestingly, most of them nest underground. Although they are common, widespread, and almost certainly living in your neighborhood and at times literally under your feet, most people know very little about them.
To help us explore the world of these fascinating bees is native bee expert, Leif Richardson. Leif works for the Xerces Society where he coordinates the California Bumble Bee Atlas and although his work focuses on bumble bees, Leif knows a great deal about this lesser-known group of bees.
