Melissodes

Melissodes

Melissodes are buzzing bees that love to visit flowers! They help plants grow by spreading pollen while they collect nectar to make honey.

生息地: Grasslands

外見

The Melissodes is a medium-sized, often fuzzy bee, frequently sporting bands of black and yellow or brown on its abdomen. Males are easily identified by their distinctively long antennae, which extend nearly the length of their body, unlike most other bees.

おもしろい事実

Each female bee digs her own private burrow in the ground to lay eggs and store pollen.

Males have antennae almost as long as their whole body, earning them the nickname 'long-horned bees'!

Some Melissodes males will sleep inside flowers at night, taking a cozy nap!

They are especially important pollinators for sunflowers and other daisy-family plants.
