CARPENTER BEE, Xylocopa latipes, Pollinator, Body characteristic,

“Xylocopa latipes”, the tropical carpenter bee, is a species of carpenter bee widely dispersed throughout Southeast Asia.
🌟Body characteristic
The tropical carpenter bee is robust, shiny black in colour with fuscous metallic blue-green or purple wings in sunlight. It has distinctive, low-pitched loud buzzing that can be heard as it flies between flowers or perches.
🌟Mating
Xylocopa latipes are considered multivoltine as they can have more than two generations per year but this depends on the availability of floral resources in their habitat
🌟Hive Shelter
tropical carpenter bees often choose useful structural woods as nesting sites, as they are able to burrow through it with their powerful mandibles.
As its name suggests, this bee inhabits forests in warm tropical climates and constructs nests by burrowing into wood and often makes long deep tunnels in wooden rafters, fallen trees, telephone poles and the like, but is not found in living trees.
Preferred wood species for the tropical carpenter bee include, Syzygium cumini, Cassia siamea, Dyera costulata (jelutong), Agathis alba (damar minyak), Alstonia spp. (pulai), and Shorea spp. (light-red meranti).
🌟Role in pollination
Carpenter bees are used commercially in the Philippines to pollinate passion-fruit flowers. They naturally perform the same function in Indonesia and Malaysia and the rest of Southeast Asia. In addition, passion-fruit flowers (Passiflora edulis flavicarpa) have been found to bloom in synchrony with tropical carpenter bee foraging rhythms, indicating an evolving relationship between the two species.
