Unequal Cellophane Bee

Notes: This common species is one of the earliest native bees to emerge in Connecticut, coinciding in phenology with the bloom of maple ( Acer spp. ) and willow ( Salix spp. ), which provide early season sources of nectar and pollen (Batra 1985; Tumminello et al. 2018). This bee commonly forms nesting aggregations throughout the state.
