3D Wool Carder Bee

The wool carder bee is one of the most fascinating native bees in North America. Each summer, it gathers soft plant fibers, relying on native flowers to build and protect its nest. As it visits blooms for nectar and pollen, it helps pollinate the landscape around it. Wool carder bees remind us how even small creatures play an important role in healthy ecosystems.
