Maybe not so cuckoo after all?
Cuckoo bees enter the nests of solitary bees while the female is away and then lay a hidden egg. When the Cuckoo bee larva hatches, it consumes both the host larva's pollen ball and the host larva itself. So the Orchard Mason Bee does all the work and the Cuckoo bee reaps all the benefit!
How telling is this?
Native Americans called honey bees "the white man's flies."
