This bee's nest architecture is described by Sakagami and Michener (1962). From Sakagami and Michener (1962): Nest architecture is Type VIII: The main burrow expands into a cavity enclosing a cluster of more or less inclined cells. There is no extension of the main burrow below the cell cluster. Cells are arranged in combs. Banks are the only known substrate used for nesting.
