Long-horned bees (Hymenoptera: Apidae: Eucerini) stand out thanks to the long antennae found on males. Females dig vertical nests in soil, and although they are solitary bees their nests are sometimes in proximity to each other. Palmyra Michigan, 07/03/2013.

Pumpkin vines can produce both male & female flowers, but cross-pollination is necessary to produce fruit. So typically bees play matchmaker.
Pumpkin pollen is large and coarse, so honeybees lack the hairy legs needed to efficiently transfer it. Enter the squash bees, tribe Eucerini...

the constant taxonomic changes within Eucerini was one of the things driving me completely insane trying to ID this mystery eucerine from san bernardino CA recently since every available key seemingly used a different taxonomic scheme. i still have no idea what it is

Good morning bees from the freeway exit restoration area.
Longhorn Bee (tribe Eucerini) still sleeps in the sunflowers.
Bumblebee (genus Bombus) already provisioned for the day.

Apparently genus Svastra subgenus epimelissodes has been promoted to genus level on iNat’s taxonomical system. As a non-expert these changes are fascinating though inconvenient. Anyone have insights (or a citation) regarding this revision? #bees #iNaturalist #taxonomy #eucerini

Hemos revisado 664 ejemplares pertenecientes a 46 especies de Eucerini.
Uno de los hallazgos más destacados fue la confirmación de la presencia de Eucera curvitarsis en la Península Ibérica. El ejemplar fue capturado en el Cap de Creus (Girona) en 1996.
