Nila baublebees have to grow fast because unlike honeybees, they live in very small communities of only a handful of individuals. Within a week or two, they are fully grown and ready to start collecting food to share with their nestmates. Like other bees, they drink nectar, and although they don't make much of it, they turn the nectar into honey which they store in small pots. During the summer, they're active pollinators of a wide variety of plants, using their long proboscises to access flowers of all shapes and sizes.

Baublebees are large, colorful insects that appear around houses and other dwellings when the first snows come. They are shy, gentle creatures that mostly spend time hiding in any dark, warm places they can find, but once they become comfortable with the inhabitants of their winter home and are confident their delicate glass bodies won't be damaged, they'll start to come out into the open. At the peak of the winter season, they can be seen flying around a house and gathering in out-of-the-way spots like on potted plants, occasionally humming melodic tunes with their filigree wings.
