description Osmia conjuncta Overview
Osmia conjuncta, commonly called the eastern snail shell mason bee, is a solitary bee in the family Megachilidae native to North America. Unlike many Osmia species that use cavities in stems or wood, females place their nests in empty snail shells, selecting shells according to size, color, and surrounding habitat; the species therefore interests researchers and observers studying specialized nesting behavior and native pollinators.
