CARPENTER BLACK BEE

I had a beautiful, interesting and unexpected visitor today. I didn't know if he was hungry or not. I had nothing to feed him, but I put out a bowl of sugar water just in case.

It was a Carpenter Black Bee. I have never seen or even heard of such a bee before. I looked up his description on the Internet.to discover his identity. He is like a big bumblebee, but all black. Due to the never ending, heavy Downtown construction there hasn't been birds, bees or butterflies for many years. Their habit has been destroyed. To see such a bee is a good sign.

"Carpenter bees are considered solitary bees, which means they tend to live in small nests without a strict social structure or division of labor. However, this does not mean that they live totally alone. They tend to like to nest near others." (Sort of like the high-rise apartment building where I live in. Alone, together.)

Nest Building Time
"Carpenter bees get their name from their preferred nesting area. They like to dig tunnels in wood, particularly weathered and exposed wood." (He was checking out the nesting possibilities of my 1918 building.) Black carpenter bees tend to be most active during the spring and summer months. April and May are particularly noticeable times, as that is when new adult bees move out of their brood cells and begin to establish their own nests."

How can we Save the Bees for a Healthy Planet

by S. Garg or letsbekarmic.com

It takes more than soil, water, and sunshine to make the world green. At least 30% of the world’s crops and 90% of all plants require cross-pollination to spread and thrive, and thus this is why bees are our most important pollinators. They produce honey and wax, which are used in countless human products, and pollinate hundreds of crop species. Unfortunately, the bee population around the world is on the decline. so we need to save the bees before it’s too late. we all should take tangible actions to protect this best pollinator of the world.

We haven't seen a quarter of the known bee species since the 1990's
Bees feed us. Many of the 20,000 species pollinate 85 percent of food crops and fruits around the world—everything from garlic and grapefruits to coffee and kale.

But, it seems, these crucial insects aren’t doing very well. A study published today in the journal One Earth reveals that in recent decades, the number of bee species reported in the wild has declined globally. The sharpest decrease occurred between 2006 and 2015, with roughly 25 percent fewer species spotted—even as sightings by citizen scientists were increasing rapidly.

A sweeping analysis shows an overall downward trend in bee diversity worldwide, raising concerns about these crucial pollinators.
