Megachile; Print; The genus Megachile is a cosmopolitan group of solitary bees; often called leafcutter bees or leafcutting bees; it also includes the called resin bees and mortar bees. While other genera within the family Megachilidae may chew leaves or petals into fragments to build their nests; certain species within Megachile neatly cut pieces of leaves or petals; hence their common name. This is one of the largest genera of bees; with more than 1500 species in over 50 subgenera. North America has many native Megachile species. The introduced alfalfa leafcutter bee (Megachile rotundata) is managed for crop pollination.
