      Thank you for the encouragement! This site is amazing, a stunning catalog of many of the species on earth. When I'm feeling down, I just browse the images :~) We are very lucky to have JungleDragon and the world's photographers who love life. Posted 7 years ago

        Thank you for the compliments, and it is a compliment right back at you, because without people like you forming the community, the site would have no value :) Posted 7 years ago

The Orchard mason bee

Osmia lignaria is a megachilid bee that makes nests in reeds and natural holes, creating individual cells for its brood that are separated by mud dividers. Unlike carpenter bees, it cannot drill holes in wood.
