The small carpenter bee, Ceratina smaragdula Fibricius is a non-Apis pollinator of many economically important crops. The nesting biology, nesting preferences, architects, foraging, hibernation, and mating behaviour of this solitary bee were examined in this study. Fifteen nests of C. smaragdula were collected and examined for the targeted attributes. C. smaragdula highly preferred (>80%) the area of field sides in Ravenna grass (Saccharum ravennae) for making their nests, at a preferred height of 82.74 cm from the soil surface. The nesting of C. smaragdula along roadsides and houses was 30-60% and
