Genera Highlight! We have just 4 species of Ceratina (Small Carpenter Bees) in BC. These beautiful shiny little metallic bees nest in pithy plant stems like raspberry. They’re active from spring to fall and don’t vary much in size -- from small to still pretty small! Ceratina are interesting because unlike most solitary bee species these bees exhibit brood care. The females will tend to and clean the cells throughout their growth while the males participate actively in nest guarding (blocking the entrance with their behinds!) while the females are out foraging on a huge variety of flowering plants.
This genera profile, and others are currently available for download on our website bcnativebees.org/native-bee-genera-profiles
This project is supported by the BC Bee Program; delivered by the Investment Agriculture Foundation with funding from the Government of British Columbia.
