We also found strong evidence of positive selection across 20% of the genome of the #squashbee populations that exclusively inhabit agricultural environments in eastern North America @_avehi @JayDEvans88 @KapheimLab

Amazing variety of squash and pumpkin on offer in US super markets. Never seen spaghetti squash on shelves back home- I’ve had to grow it myself. Pollinated by Peponapis bees #squashbee #pumpkin #squash

Pumpkins bring fun and beauty to the season - inspiring works of art like this tree at @mnarboretum. And they're one more reason to thank the bees! According to @pollinatetufts, the #squashbee is one of the most important pollinators of pumpkin. Happy pumpkin season! 🐝🎃

@Squash_Bee @UofG_SES @SESGSC @NigelERaine @1in3mouthfuls @Caro_Strang Thanks @Squash_Bee. Your help and #SquashBee wisdom was and continue to be of great assistance! And much much appreciated! 🙏
A half-lady, half-gentleman #squashbee?? "[the] head was split as left-female, right-male, yet her body was split right-female, left-male" @mmlopezu and team is finding out interesting things about #bees!

This is going to be so interesting!!! Don't miss @Squash_Bee's PhD defense if you have interest in any of the following: #squashbee #ecotoxicology #riskassessment #cucurbits #pesticides #ONpollinators ground-nesting🐝🎃🧑🌾... Happening tomorrow at 9am!
Pondering the part #pollinators & #pesticides play in pumpkin production? Tune in @ 9 on Friday for @Squash_Bee's PhD defence seminar all about links between solitary ground-nesting squash #bees & cucurbit crops they rely on for food & helpfully pollinate for us🎃🐝DM for weblink

Novel and amazing information about #SquashBee biology! Excellent research by @Squash_Bee and @NigelERaine
As you enjoy your pumpkin pie, squash risotto or carve a jack-o-lantern 🎃, spare a thought for the delightful squash #bees that likely pollinated them. Find out more at 1530 when @Squash_Bee talks about the foraging & nesting ecology of these important #pollinators at #BeeCon20

Squash bees are now emerging in State College, PA! 🐝
Look for them, & cucumber beetles, in a pumpkin/squash flowers, early in the morning/before noon. 🎃
They are ~ honey-bee-sized; males have a yellow facial spot. ☀️

Just look at all of the #pollen this #squashbee has collected!🐝🎃💛Beautiful photo, @josemmontalva!

squash bee Eucera pruinosa on my backyard garden these bees really love the Cucurbita plants (squash, pumpkins, cucumbers, etc). #BeesfromOklahoma

Happy #WorldBeeDay!
#Eucera (#Peponapis) pruinosa is one of my favorite #squashbee species. Thanks to my lab mates for contributing to this fantastic list of reasons why we 💛🎃🐝!

At the @lopezuribelab, we have a lot of reasons the #squashbee Eucera (#Peponapis) pruinosa is our #FavoriteBee/#AbelhaFavorita!🐝
1) Squash bees specialize on Cucurbita (pumpkin/squash) pollen. Females have special adaptations for collecting it!

2) This #squashbee species expanded its range across North America, beyond the range of its wild host (C. foetidissima), following pumpkin/squash (C. pepo & others) domestication!🎃

Eucera (Xenoglossa) fulva (Smith, 1854) is one of the largest #squashbee species! I think their butterscotch hard candy-like coloration (referred to as fulvous & ferruginous) is beautiful. The pictured specimen is a male. 🎃🐝🥰

Este es un macho de Xenoglossa fulva Smith, 1854 (ahora en el género Eucera), una de las abejas que visitan las flores de calabaza. Presente en el centro de México, en bosques tropicales y de pinos y desde el nivel del mar, hasta los 1200 m de altitud.

En esta cuarenten comparto a este bonita Peponapis utahensis (formalmente Eucera (Peponapis) utahensis (Cockerell, 1905), una de las abejas de las calabazas más comunes y presentes entre el sur de EU, México y norte Centroamérica.

Beutiful #CitizenScience study of how soil management practices impact #squashbee abundance by @loganapp1 @msuvegent
#EntomologyToday article featuring McGrady et al's recently-published study on wild #bee #pollination of pumpkins in #Pennsylvania! 🐝🎃

Wild #BeesofPA greatly impact the #pollination of #Cucurbita crops! McGrady et al. (2019) documented 37 spp. as pumpkin flower visitors & suggest that renting #honeybee colonies may not be necessary. 🐝🎃👍
