LEAF CUTTING BEES AND NESTS. THE MEGACHILE. 249 through some narrow sht; so she goes off and cuts two morecircular pieces, and uses them as she did the first, and thus thehttle cells are closed by three layers of leafy covering, and some-times by a fourth. A second cell is constructed in the samemanner, and its end fits into the opening of the first, and thusa series of eight or ten of them is usually found, looking like along tubular sleeve. When all this is completed, the eggs beinglaid and the cells victualled, the Mcgadiile closes the hole of itsperpendicular shaft with the earth which she dug out in the firstinstance, and this is done so well that there is no trace of itleft. In the engraving the leaf-cutting bees are depicted either inflight, on the leaves, at work carrying the leaf to their hole, orupon the ground, and one is completing a cell underground, onthe left hand side. There are some other bees which have three teeth to theirmandibles, and which, perhaps, are more part
