• Colletes compactus

  polyester bee, plasterer bee, cellophane bee

  Colletes compactus is a solitary ground-nesting bee in the family Colletidae, native to North America. Like other members of its genus, it constructs subterranean burrows lined with a distinctive cellophane-like secretion produced by the Dufour's gland, earning the common name "polyester bee" or "plasterer bee." The species nests in aggregations in sandy soils, with females provisioning individual brood cells with a semi-liquid mixture of pollen and nectar. Males emerge before females and actively patrol nesting areas seeking mates.

• Colletes inaequalis

  Unequal Cellophane Bee, Plasterer Bee, Polyester Bee

  Colletes inaequalis is a univoltine, ground-nesting solitary bee and one of the earliest pollinators to emerge in North American spring. Males emerge approximately two weeks before females and patrol nesting sites seeking mates. Females construct individual underground burrows in sandy soils, lining brood cells with a polyester secretion from abdominal glands that creates a waterproof, cellophane-like coating. The species exhibits strong site fidelity, with offspring often nesting near parental aggregation sites. It is polylectic, visiting early spring flowering trees including Eastern Redbud, maple, willow, and apple.

• Megachile gemula

  Small-handed Leaf-cutter Bee

  Megachile gemula is a solitary leafcutter bee species in the family Megachilidae, described by Cresson in 1878. It is commonly known as the Small-handed Leaf-cutter Bee. As a member of the genus Megachile, it shares the characteristic behavior of cutting leaf pieces to construct nest chambers. The species has been recorded in North America, with specific observations documented in Vermont, United States.

• Megachile inimica

  hostile leaf-cutter bee

  Megachile inimica is a solitary leaf-cutting bee in the family Megachilidae, described by Ezra Townsend Cresson in 1872. It is native to southern North America and Central America. As a member of the genus Megachile, it likely exhibits the characteristic behavior of cutting leaf fragments to line its nest cavities, though specific behavioral details for this species remain poorly documented.

• Megachile inimica sayi

  Megachile inimica sayi is a subspecies of leafcutter bee in the family Megachilidae. As a member of the genus Megachile, this bee exhibits the characteristic leaf-cutting behavior for which the group is named. The subspecies is found in parts of North America and Middle America. Like other Megachilidae, females carry pollen on scopal hairs located on the underside of the abdomen rather than on the legs. The specific epithet "inimica" suggests a Latin origin meaning "hostile" or "unfriendly," though the behavioral significance of this name is not documented in available sources.

• Megachile melanophaea

  Black-and-gray Leafcutter Bee

  Megachile melanophaea is a solitary leafcutter bee native to North America, first described by Frederick Smith in 1853. Females construct nests in ground holes or small cavities, lining individual cells with carefully cut leaf pieces and provisioning them with pollen and nectar. This species has been documented as a pollinator of slipper orchids (Cypripedium species), including the rare Cypripedium macranthos var. rebunense, which is otherwise pollinated almost exclusively by queen bumble bees. The species is parasitized by cuckoo bees Coelioxys sodalis and Coelioxys rufitarsus.

• Megachile mellitarsis

  Megachile mellitarsis is a solitary bee species in the family Megachilidae, first described by Cresson in 1878. Like other leafcutter bees, females carry pollen on scopal hairs beneath the abdomen rather than on the hind legs. The species is known from limited observations in Middle America and North America.

• Megachile newberryae

  Megachile newberryae is a species of solitary bee in the family Megachilidae, described by Theodore Dru Alison Cockerell in 1900. Like other members of the genus Megachile, this species is a leafcutter bee, characterized by females that cut leaf pieces to line their nest cells. The species has been recorded in Middle America and North America.

  Parallel Leafcutter Bee

  Megachile parallela is a solitary leafcutter bee in the family Megachilidae, described by Smith in 1853. As a member of the genus Megachile, it exhibits the characteristic trait of cutting leaf fragments to construct and line its nest cells. The species is found in North and Middle America. Like other Megachile species, females carry pollen on scopal hairs beneath the abdomen rather than on the legs.

  southeastern little leaf-cutter bee

  Megachile pseudobrevis, commonly known as the southeastern little leaf-cutter bee, is a solitary bee species in the family Megachilidae. It was described by Mitchell in 1935. As a member of the genus Megachile, it belongs to a diverse group of bees characterized by their leaf-cutting nesting behavior, though specific behavioral details for this species remain poorly documented. The species occurs in North America.

• Megachile zapoteca

  Megachile zapoteca is a solitary leafcutter bee in the family Megachilidae, first described by Cresson in 1878. It is native to Mexico and Central America, with records from multiple Mexican states including Chiapas, Oaxaca, and Veracruz, as well as Costa Rica, Guatemala, and Honduras. As a member of the genus Megachile, it likely exhibits the characteristic leaf-cutting behavior for nest construction, though specific behavioral details for this species remain poorly documented.

• Megandrena enceliae

  encelia megandrena

  Megandrena enceliae is a mining bee in the family Andrenidae, originally described as Andrena enceliae by Cockerell in 1927. The species was later transferred to the genus Megandrena. It occurs in North America and is one of relatively few species in this small bee genus.

• Melissodes

  long-horned bees

  Melissodes is a large genus of long-horned bees in the tribe Eucerini, with approximately 129-140 described species native to the Americas. Males are named for their characteristically long antennae that extend well beyond the head. The genus exhibits diverse pollen specialization strategies, with females ranging from polylectic to oligolectic, particularly on Asteraceae. Species are economically important as crop pollinators, especially for sunflower.

• Melissodes agilis

  agile long-horned bee, agile longhorn bee

  Melissodes agilis is a species of long-horned bee in the family Apidae, characterized by the notably long antennae of males. The species exhibits striking sexual dimorphism in behavior: females are solitary ground-nesters, while males form nightly sleeping aggregations on flowers and vegetation. Males are highly territorial, aggressively defending floral resources from other pollinators including butterflies and bees. The species is native to North and Central America and has been documented in urban pollinator gardens.

• Melissodes illatus

  Valiant Long-horned Bee

  Melissodes illatus is a species of long-horned bee in the family Apidae, commonly known as the Valiant Long-horned Bee. It belongs to a genus characterized by males with exceptionally long antennae and territorial behavior. Like other Melissodes species, it is a solitary ground-nesting bee and an important native pollinator. The species has been documented across North America, with observation records from regions including Vermont.

• Melissodes pallidisignatus

  Melissodes pallidisignatus is a long-horned bee species in the family Apidae, native to North and Central America. Like other members of the genus Melissodes, it is a solitary ground-nesting bee. The species is part of a diverse genus of approximately 130 species of medium to large bees commonly known as long-horned bees due to the elongated antennae of males. It contributes to pollination in its native range, though specific ecological studies on this species are limited compared to better-known congeners such as Melissodes agilis.

• Melissodes paroselae

  Parosela Long-horned Bee

  Melissodes paroselae is a species of long-horned bee in the family Apidae, first described by Cockerell in 1905. Like other members of the genus Melissodes, it is characterized by elongated antennae, particularly in males. The species is distributed across Central America and North America. As a member of the tribe Eucerini, it is a solitary, ground-nesting bee that contributes to pollination of native flora.
