1 Introduction Bees are among the most important pollinators of angiosperms, economically and ecologically (Klein et al. 2007; Ollerton et al. 2011). Stable wild bee populations require adequate nesting grounds, nest building material and foraging resources consisting of nectar and pollen to fulfil their life cycles (Figure 1).
Abstract Background Invasive species are increasingly driving biodiversity decline, and knowledge of colonization dynamics, including both drivers and dispersal modes, are important to prevent future invasions. The bee species Megachile sculpturalis (Hymenoptera: Megachilidae), native to East-Asia, was first recognized in Southeast-France in 2008, and has since spread throughout much of Europe. The spread is very fast, and colonization may result from multiple fronts.
