No bees were found in five nests; one of these nests was inactive but the others contained from one to four active cells. These data suggest solitary behaviour, but the study was carried out on sunny days, and some specimens were observed later flying around the area that had been dug. Moreover, one nest had 11 active cells (Table S8: nest 4), which might be too many cells to provision for a single bee. These data suggest that the species probably had solitary and social nests in the area studied.</paragraph>

with no mandible or wing wear, one of which had no ovary development while the other three had well-developed eggs in their ovaries (Table S9: nest 1). These females were found near the cluster, which had six open cells, but despite the intact wings and mandibles I do not believe these females had recently emerged. The pupae found in all nests studied were unsclerotised, and adults from the clusters that were taken to the laboratory did not emerge until 2 weeks later (after 4 January). It is plausible that the workers of that nest were foraging when the nest was dug, so I infer that this nest was semisocial, with three reproductive females in it. I discard communal behaviour because these females had no visible signs of wear in wings and mandibles, perhaps because foraging and construction were performed entirely by the workers.

Bees of both sexes emerged in the laboratory at the beginning of January. This agrees with data taken from collections, suggesting that males appear in the field from that moment on (Table S14). The proportion of pupae (4 f,

). Although I found several open cells in the nests, many with faeces, they could have been active the previous year, and left untouched by the bees, while others were filled with soil. The data suggest that the species is univoltine in the area studied.
