Reproduction
They are partially migratory, and usually breed only in the southern portion of their range, moving north for the dry season in southern Africa. It lays four eggs in a burrow nest at the beginning of the southern African wet season, and the chicks usually hatch at the beginning of December.Unlike most bee-eaters, the species does not practice cooperative breeding and postfledging dependence is only around nineteen days, which is typical of temperate zone passerines and about half that of most Meropidae species.
