Dear all,

Does anyone know what kind of Megachile this bee is? Is it the Megachile versicolor?

The bee(s) has made his nest in one of our flowerpots, in the ground. There are three entrances. Can anyone tell me when the little bee will leave the nest.

Thanks.

Gr,
Shar

Hello,

I was told that M. versicolor has a red ventral brush on all tergits, but the last two. Therefore, it can't be this one.
