I have nicknamed this bee (Ptilothrix bombiformis) the refuge bee because it is found so often on National Wildlife Refuges. Why? Well this species is a hibiscus specialist and refuges are full of impoundments and those impoundments often have fresh water hibiscus plants in them. Interestingly, this species has decided that non-native mallows planted by homeowners have acceptable pollen and thus this species can be found in the middle of cities.
