Detail of patterns on the abdomen of a male A. manicatum A female A. manicatum A male A. manicatum. Anthidium manicatum is originally an Old World bee. It has a wingspan around 20 millimetres (0.79 in), with a body length of about 11–13 mm (0.43–0.51 in) for females, and 14–17 mm (0.55–0.67 in) for males. [9]
The phoretic stage can last for 4.5–11 days during brood production periods or up to five to six months when no brood is present in winter months. Female mites have a life expectancy of 27 days when brood is present. [9] After the phoretic stage, female mites leave the adult bee and enter brood cells with bee larvae.
The female bee builds her nest by digging straight down into clay, or other densely packed soil and dirt. She will dig to depths between 15 and 35 centimeters. [8] The female bee will then turn to dig horizontally. In the horizontal shaft, she will dig downwards to create brood cells.
When the first brood of female workers have become adults, they take over the jobs of foraging for nectar and pollen, defending the colony, and feeding larvae. The queen's only job at this stage is to lay more eggs. A colony of B. occidentalis can have up to around 1,600 workers, which is large compared to that of other bumble bee species. [4]
