Eastern carpenter bee
The eastern carpenter bee is a large bee that lives across eastern North America, from the eastern United States into southern Canada. It digs its nests into wood, often in buildings and furniture, so people can come across it close to home. Its nests are social, with groups of females sharing one entrance.1

Males guard territories near the nest entrance and chase fast-flying intruders.1

Eziokwu
Mating happens only once a year, in the spring, and often includes a bobbing dance by a group of males.1
The bees can recognise each other and show more aggression toward bees from other nests than toward their own nestmates.1
Young bees are white when newly emerged and their wings darken over several days, first to brown and then to a bluish black.1
Dominant females do almost all the work in a nest, including reproduction, foraging and building, while subordinate bees mostly guard the nest.1
Old bees die by early August, around the time that new young bees emerge, so there is little overlap between generations.1
