Abstract:
Bees of the Megachilidae family are solitary, they build their nests with pieces of leaves and vegetable remains or use holes in trunks. Bees of this family are found with high frequency, mainly in open areas. Frequent visitors to Asteraceae and Fabaceae flowers, the genus Megachile is the most diverse of the group. Megachilidae nests, built with pieces of plant leaves, are found inside the camera. Megachilidae bees cut the leaves of a plant to build their nests. The objective of this bibliographical production is to know the biology, ecology and taxonomic characteristics of the Megachilidae family. In terms of the type of research source, we worked with scientific articles published in national and international journals and other documents. This modality of production, in addition to being commonly the most valued in the set of bibliographic production, is the most easily accessed. Access to articles was through virtual libraries such as SciELO, ResearchGate, Hall, USP, UNB, CAPES, Qeios and LILACS.
