When I went to one of the agricultural large areas forests in the Papua New Guinea.. , that was in the evening, I saw more of the Bee species , So I photographed it .. Carpenter bees are species in the genus Xylocopa of the sub family Xylocopa flavonigrescens. The genus includes some 500 bees in 31 subgenera. The common name \"carpenter bee\" derives from their nesting behavior; nearly all species burrow into hard plant material such as dead wood or bamboo. Carpenter bees make nests by tunneling into wood, bamboo, and similar hard plant material such as peduncles, usually dead. They vibrate their bodies as they rasp their mandibles against hard wood, each nest having a single entrance which may have many adjacent tunnels. As a subfamily, they attack a wide range of host plants .
