Meet the Pollinators–Eastern Carpenter Bee
The Eastern Carpenter bee (Xylocopa virginica) slot qris is one of our native bees found throughout much of North America east of the Rockies. It nests in wood as semi-social colonies–not solitary, but not in large colonies like honeybees. Carpenter bees are of similar size and look superficially much like bumble bees. This bee feeds mostly on nectar and pollen. It pollinates a wide variety of fruit and vegetable crops as well as native wildflowers, like Balakplay these Virginia bluebells growing in our home landscape Sbobet88 here in the Arkansas Ozarks.
