Plastic nesting behavior of Centris (Centris) flavifrons (Hymenoptera: Apidae: Centridini) in an urban area [PDF]
Apidologie, 2013 Centris flavifrons is a ground-nesting solitary bee species that has an important role in crop and native plant species pollination in the Neotropical region. However, the nesting biology and ecology of this species are little understood. We studied the nesting biology of C. flavifrons by observing 287 nests in an urban garden. Females built nests only

Buzzing Wild Bee Visits Enhance Seed Set in Eggplant, Solanum melongena
Psyche: A Journal of Entomology, Volume 2017, Issue 1, 2017., 2017 Sixty percent of the angiosperms with poricidal anthers are buzz‐pollinated by bees (Hymenoptera: Apoidea: Apiformes). Plant taxa with Solanum‐type flowers have larger anthers and shorter filaments. Solanum melongena (Solanaceae) is more commonly and efficiently pollinated by buzz pollinators. The present study documented bees and their diurnal pattern
