Bee Mediterranean Large Extant Small Carpenter Ceratina

description Ceratina chalcites Overview

Ceratina chalcites is a small carpenter bee in the family Apidae, widely distributed across southern and central Europe, the Mediterranean basin, and parts of the Middle East. Like other Ceratina species, it is solitary and excavates nests in plant stems or pithy twigs rather than forming social colonies. Adults are recognized by their bright metallic green or greenish-bronze coloration, which sets them apart from most other bees in their range. Females individually provision each nest cell with a mixture of pollen and nectar for their developing larvae.
