Dispersal distance is poorly known in most solitary bees. It appears to be a function of size since body size is negatively correlated with population genetic structure (Lopez-Uribe et al. 2019) and is positively correlated with foraging distance (van Niewstadt and Iraheta 1996, Gathmann and Tscharntke 2002, Greenleaf et al. 2007). Xenoglossa strenua (Cresson) is a large tawny-colored bee whose range (Hurd and Linsley, 1964) is transcontinental from Maryland and Florida west to southern California and south to Durango, Mexico. It limits its pollen collecting to the genus Curcurbita and nests in bare or nearly bare areas of flat ground near its host plants. The name squash bee, also squash and gourd bee, is applied to two related genera of bees in the tribe Eucerini; Peponapis and Xenoglossa.Both genera are oligoleges (pollen specialists) on the plant genus Cucurbita and closely related plants, although they usually do not visit watermelon, cucumber, and melon plants. They are small genera, containing only 13 and 7 described species, respectively Xenoglossa is a genus of bees that specialize in pollinating squash and gourd flowers. Learn how to identify these bees and their role in the ecosystem with this interactive guide from Discover Life. Xenoglossa. Facebook. Twitter. Kingdom Animalia animals.
