]]> Blue-banded Digger Bees (Amegilla andrewsi) are solitary bees that have the ability to buzz pollinate flowers. Clinging onto the flower’s anthers, the bee vibrates its body at a particular frequency that causes pollen from the flower to be released.

They nest in the ground, particularly in clayey soil. In urban environments, they are known to use man-made surfaces such as mortar between bricks and concrete as nests instead.
