• Life cycle of a subtropical xylocopine bee, Ceratina okinawana MATSUMURA et UCHIDA, was studied in Okinawa Is., southern Japan, with additional observations on some multifemale nests. Reproduction occurred three times per year : first from late March to late May, second in June, third from early September to mid October. Unlike congeneric species distributed in the temperate zones, adult bees copulated even in the winter. Although most females were solitary in the brood rearing season, about 11% brood rearing nests contained two or three females which exhibited some traits of incipient reproductive castes. Therefore, C. okinawana could be regarded as an incipiently social species.
