Violet carpenter bee
The violet carpenter bee is one of the largest bees in Europe. It is also found across parts of Asia. It nests in dead wood, which is where the name 'carpenter bee' comes from.1

Yeroo baay'ee kan itti wal fakkeessan: In India, several all-black Xylocopa species are called 'bhanvra' (or 'bhomora' in Assamese). Sightings of these are often wrongly blamed on this species. This species is found only in the northern regions of Jammu and Kashmir and Punjab. Most sightings refer to other black carpenter bees, such as X. nasalis, X. tenuiscapa or X. tranquebarorum.1
