They are non-swarming and non-aggressive, and are very unlikely to sting unless handled roughly, making them safe to encourage around people, children and pets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach female bee finds her own nesting cavity, lays her eggs and seals the entrance using mud or chewed vegetation.
