title: Nesting biology and nest structure of the exotic bee <i>Megachile sculpturalis</i>
abstract: From the 1990s, the Southeast Asia native giant resin bee <i>Megachile sculpturalis</i> (Smith, 1853) was introduced first to North America, and then to many countries in Europe. Despite increasing studies on its invasive potential and geographical expansion, information on nesting behaviour of this species is still extremely scarce. To increase knowledge on the nesting biology of <i>M. sculpturalis</i>, we studied multiple aspects of nesting and pollen provisioning in three consecutive years in
