description Hoplitis producta Overview
Hoplitis producta is a solitary bee in the family Megachilidae, recorded in North America and also known by the common name prolonged summer mason bee. Females provision their offspring in individual nest cells rather than maintaining a social colony. Nesting accounts for this species describe the use of pre-existing cavities such as hollow plant stems and beetle burrows, with plant material used to separate brood cells. It is therefore relevant to observers studying native cavity-nesting bees and pollinator communities.
