Abstract:It is during the month of August that one can find the wild bee, Perdita zebrata, nesting in the sandy soil at White Rocks near Boulder, Colorado. The nests are usually found together in groups of eight to ten, one female to a nest. Those studied last summer were located in a sandy field sloping to the south at the base of the cliffs.
