Which gender of carpenter bee creates larval food and lays eggs in an excavated gallery?

  1. Male

  2. Female

  3. Worker

  4. Soldier

The correct answer is: Female

The female carpenter bee is responsible for creating larval food and laying eggs in an excavated gallery. After the female excavates a tunnel in wood, she gathers and chews plant material such as pollen and nectar to form a paste. This paste serves as nourishment for her offspring. She then lays her eggs in individual cells within the gallery, sealing each cell with the food supply before covering the entrance. The male carpenter bee does not participate in these activities, as his role primarily involves mating and protecting the nesting territory. Understanding the specific roles of male and female carpenter bees is crucial for accurate identification and assessment during a WDO inspection.
