متن کاملThe Nesting and Foraging Behavior of Perdita texana (Cresson) (Hymenoptera: Andrenidae)
Perdita (Macrotera) texana is a ground nesting, univoltine, facultatively communal bee species found in western Texas and southern Oklahoma.

Most nests are constructed de novo each year but some females reuse their natal nests. These is...
متن کاملNesting Behavior of Four Species of Perdita (Hymenoptera: Andrenidae)
Observations on a nesting aggregation of Perdita (Perdita) difficilis in south eastern Arizona indicate that this species is solitary, provisions two cells per day during two foraging periods (0700-1000 and 1700-1930 hr) and requires only three trips (two with pollen and one with nectar, in that order) to provision a cell. Nests are occupied for less than 5 days and bees most likely occupy seve...
متن کاملRediscovered parasitism of Andrena savignyi Spinola (Hymenoptera, Andrenidae) by Stylops (Strepsiptera, Stylopidae) and revised taxonomic status of the parasite
Parasitism of Andrena (Suandrena) savignyi Spinola (Hymenoptera: Andrenidae) by Stylops Kirby (Strepsiptera: Stylopidae) has been recorded only once, and from an individual collected in Egypt almost a century ago, with the parasite described as Stylops savignyi Hofeneder. The recent rediscovery of this Stylops from an individual of Andrena savignyi permits a reinterpretation of the species and ...
