		The remaining Xylocopinae are small, slender bees that nest in pithy stems.
		Most Xylocopinae are basically solitary, although long-lived, so that several adults are often found in a nest; some Old World species of the Xylocopinae, however, form small eusocial colonies.
		This family differs from all other bees in that the pollen brush, which is restricted to the hind leg, is reduced to a row of long hairs surrounding a smooth space on the tibia.

		Xylocopinae are unique in that they store food for the adults to feed on.
		The bees in the Xylocopinae make their homes in pithy stems, or they will chew into wood to create chambered or nonchambered nests.
		The adult bees are either female or male; there is no specific worker class, although young adults stay with their mother for a period of time, often until they are mature.

	Large Carpenter Bees, Xylocopa spp. (Insecta: Hymenoptera: Apidae: Xylocopinae)
		In America north of Mexico, the subfamily Xylocopinae is composed of two genera, Ceratina (small carpenter bees) and Xylocopa (large carpenter bees).
		These bees obtain their common name from their nesting habits: small carpenter bees excavate tunnels in pithy stems of various bushes; large carpenter bees chew nesting galleries in solid wood or in stumps, logs, or dead branches of trees (Hurd and Moure 1963).

	THE INSECTS OF CEDAR CREEK (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		Anthophorid Bees (920 NA spp) are most diverse in the western U.S. Three distinctive subfamilies are recognized: Nomadinae (Cuckoo Bees), Anthophorinae (Digger Bees), and Xylocopinae (Carpenter Bees).
		All three subfamilies and perhaps 25 species have been collected at Cedar Creek.
		Ceratina(calcarata, dupla) are small green carpenter bees routinely encountered at flowers in savanna regions throughout much of the summer.
