Blue banded bees are solitary bees which are characterized by their glittering blue color bands on their abdomen. They construct their nests and brood cells for their young ones in soils. They are polylectic and wild pollinators playing major role in crop pollination. Research on blue banded bees is very limited and less studies.Blue banded bees are fossorial bees. The life stages of the bees develop inside sealed earthen brood cells. Cells, at the end of tunnels, contain an egg with a pollen/nectar mixture for the larval food. More often invasive methods are used for studying the life stages of these bees. Amegilla cingulata indigenous to Australia and South (and South East) Asia.
