Virescent Green Metallic Bee Stats!

 

The Virescent Green Metallic Bee is a communal soil nester. The bees nest are composed of underground tunnel systems, marked by a main vertical burrow that branches off into several larger nesting areas complete with horizontally running tunnels and cells. In these cells, female bees leave pollen and nectar for a single egg before filling the tunnel with an insulating layer of soil. Soon the egg is hatched and after eating and growing, the mature bees dig their way out to start foraging. Virescent green metallic bees are polylactic, meaning they collect pollen from a wide variety of floral resources to generate food for the egg to hatch. The green bee is a good addition to your garden pollenating from plant to plant to help create a healthy garden.
