Part I Recognizing Existing Pollinator Habitat Many growers may already have an abundance of habitat for native pollinators on or near their land; having semi-natural or natural habitat available significantly increases pollinator populations.

Easily confused with bumblebees of the Bombus species, this big bee, Xylocopa virginica, is a pollinator workhorse within each garden. We found that B. impatiens nests exclusively underground in two natural land cover types, forests and meadows, but not in hay fields. Worker bees develop first, followed by males and new queens toward the end of summer.

In contrast to B. impatiens, B. griseocollis frequently nested on the surface of the ground and was almost always found in meadows.
Nest boxes, each containing one colony of the common eastern bumble bee (B. impatiens ), were obtained from a commercial breeder (Koppert Biological Systems, Romulus, Michigan).
B. impatiens nested at similar densities in both in meadows and forests, but colonies in forests had much higher reproductive output. Black-tailed bumble bee, B. melanopygus. The pollen grains get inadvertently dusted onto the body of the bee. 0000001869 00000 n
