Male Long-horned Bee on stalk of dwarf Fakahatchee Grass (Tripsacum floridanum)

Caption by Mark Deyrup:
Long-Horned Bees (members of the tribe Eucerini) are largish, furry bees whose males sport long antennae. There are several Florida genera, and species occur in various colors from black to tawny. The word “eucerine” can be translated as “handsome antennae,” which this fellow is displaying in all their glory. Like most species of bees, these are solitary—in that they do not live in hives with a queen, like Honey or Bumble Bees. At one site in central Florida there are 114 species of bees, of which 107 are solitary. Some solitary bees live in aggregations, but nests are usually kept separate.
