"NEST FOR AND METHOD OF MANAGING MEGACHILE ROTUNDATA" ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A nest for Megachile Rotundata bees includes a group of blind tunnels specifically designed to present bees with tunnels as near as possible to natural to suit their instinctive nesting habits. The nest is designed as a single-use unit which simplifies protection and collection of young while fumigating and sterilizing to avoid disease possibly present on retrievable progeny. The nest described herein has characteristics which will permit control of fungus, mold and infestation by predators, but is still durable for the period of activity of laying down of young by adults during pollination and during the breeding period. The nest is configurated of paper tubes having seams adhered together by water-soluble adhesive. When the nest is immersed in a water bath after progeny have been developed in the tubes, the tubes open, releasing the progeny to float in the bath where the progeny can be conveniently harvested. The water bath may contain pesticides or other substances to control fungus, mold and predators. After the progeny have been released into the bath from the nest, the nest is dried and burned to destroy any disease organisms remaining therein.
