Leafcutter bee extraction.....in slow motion.  My sister took this video and it's pretty interesting.  The leafcutter bee nesting blocks (made of styrofoam) get put through the extraction or punching machine.  Metal pins push the cocoons out of the holes and voila, that's how we extract the cocoons.  Take a look! Voila, Metal Pins, Styrofoam, Extract, Slow, Motion, Bee, Holes, Backyard

Animal Kingdom made this wonderful video showing lovely photos of leafcutter bees.   Animal Kingdom says "Leaf cutter bees: Megachile rotunda is a species local to Eurasia that was brought into the United States after the 1930's a direct result of a drop in alfalfa seed production. This solitary bee was conveyed into North America to expand fertilization yields of alfalfa for seed since bumble bees are not the best pollinators of the product".

This block was placed at a friend's house close to a commercial alfalfa field for stray bees.  It was a hot day and the bees were thriving.  The idea for the Backyard Pollinator was borne! Alfalfa, Close To Home, Hot Days, Thrive, Stray, Field
