I was daydreaming today about stuff. I remember the summer before last I saw an article this fellow had wrote about looking for what he called "the little squash bee". He went on to say that the male little squash bee slept in the flowers of the squashes and the female burrowed into the ground. In his article he was imploring people to be on the look out for this little fellow and to advise if they had any sightings. As I grow all different manner of squash, I did keep my eye out for the little guy that summer and this summer as well, never to set my eyes on him. Does anyone actually know what the real name for this little squash bee is? I would be interested. I was surprised that the writer did not give the formal name for the bee. I am going to see if I can find the article when I return home, to see if I may have missed something that may give a better clue about identification. Great day. Cindi
