Distribution:

The Bumble Bee and Blue Banded Bee are found in urban areas, forests and woodlands, through out Sydney and Australia but not known in Tasmania or the Northern Territory.

Habitat:

The Common Blue-banded bee and Bumble Bee are Quite different to the Honey bee’s instead of living in a big hive with thousands of bees it builds a solitary nest, but often close to one another. It prefers soft sandstone to burrow in, and areas of this type of rock can become riddled with bee tunnels. It also likes mud-brick houses and often burrows into the mortar in old buildings. Cells at the end of the tunnel contain an egg with a pollen/nectar mixture for the emerging larva.
