They are large, robust bees.
Dorsum of the abdomen is bare.
Pollen baskets are absent in hindlegs. But brushes of hairs are present on hinglegs.
They build nests in dead logs and in live branches. They tunnel in all directions. They do
not feed on wood. The tunnel is partitioned into several cells, separated by cemented
wood chips. Pollen and nectar are placed in each cell together with one egg. The larvae
hatch, feed, grow and pupate inside.
Adults are not aggressive and do not sting. They visit flowers and take nectar often by
simply biting through the base of the flower instead of sipping from the top.
