The Mother Nest

This nest of a rare bee is made of flower petals and holds a single egg.
The demand for scientists to learn more about bees has increased dramatically as the severity of the livelihood of the bee population becomes more earnest. Bees are crucial to maintaining the ecosystem as pollinators and preservationists; 20,000 species of bees exist and typically we associate them with hives. Recently a solitary type of bee has been discovered that creates nests by pasting together flower petals.
