Macropis europaea, European Oil Bee, specimen collected by Heinrich Friese in Austria Sometimes an entire group of bees develops a relationship with one group of plants. The 16 little species of Macropis Oil Bees are such a case. They only seek pollen and oil from plants within the genus Lysimachia. What’s more they only seek the members of that tribe of plants that produce the gift of oil, some species of Lysimachia do not produce oil and thus are never visited by these bees. Macropis Oil Bees use the oils provided by these plants to waterproof their nests, moisten their load of pollen as they forage, and to feed their young. These are bees of the northern hemisphere, found only in North America, Europe and northern Asia matching the bulk of the distribution of Lysimachia species, which thrive in temperate climates. European species appear to be doing well but North American ones appear to have mysteriously crashed and they are now quite rare and their one North American nest parasite (Epeoloides pilosula) is almost extinct, whereas its European relative, E. coecutiens, remains quite common. 15:44, 3 February 2015 (UTC)15:44, 3 February 2015 (UTC){{{{{{0}}}}}}15:44, 3 February 2015 (UTC)15:44, 3 February 2015 (UTC) All photographs are public domain, feel free to download and use as you wish.
