## Abstract The carpenter bee __Xylocopa capitata__ has a high wing loading (425 mg cm^βˆ’2^ in females with empty crops) and exhibits a very high mass‐specific oxygen consumption during flight (mean for free flight 52.3 ml O~2~ gm^βˆ’1^ hour^βˆ’1^). Evaporative water loss is also high during flight (26.
