The poppy bee (Osmia papaveris or Hoplitis papaveris) is a leaf-cutting bee that lines its cells with pieces of poppy petals. First, the female digs a nest in sandy soil. When the nest is large enough, the bee starts cutting small pieces from petals of the common poppy (Papaver rhoeas) with its mandibles and presses them into a tiny package which is then carried to the nest. The package is unfolded again in the brood chamber to serve as a lining.
