Notes. Carpenter bees are frequently found in man-made structures, but only occasionally are discovered in natural sites ( Howard 1892). Xylocopa virginica has both single and multi-female nests. Social nests are unusual in that daughters may occupy nests without functioning as traditional workers ( Richards 2011).
