Chelostoma campanularum, or the harebell carpenter bee, is a species of hymenopteran in the family Megachilidae.

[1][2][3][4] It is found in Europe and Northern Asia (excluding China) and North America.

[1] The bee is small and black (6-7mm) with a single flight period from mid-June to mid-August.

The male has a two-pronged peg on the final segment of the abdomen and the female has snow white pollen collecting hairs on the underside.

[citation needed] To collect the pollen the female brushes the hairs on the underside of her abdomen on to the pollen using her back legs and using her front legs and mandibles to grip on to the anthers of the flower.
