Global Biodiversity Information Facility. Free and Open Access to Biodiversity Data. Xenoglossa strenua (Cresson) is a large tawny-colored bee whose range (Hurd and Linsley, 1964) is transcontinental from Maryland and Florida west to southern California and south to Durango, Mexico. It limits its pollen collecting to the genus Curcurbita and nests in bare or nearly bare areas of flat ground near its host plants.

Xenoglossa strenua, female, face: 15 thumbnails • slide show: Overview: Reprinted with permission from: Mitchell, T.B. 1962 Bees of the Eastern United States. North Carolina Agricultural Experiment Station Technical Bulletin No. 152. Female, with a narrower and less hairy face than the male. Squash bees pollinate the sprawling, large-leaved coyote gourd (=stinky gourd) plants so often seen in local parks. Such specialized bees also pollinate related food crops in the cucumber family, including pumpkins, zucchini, and melons. Dispersal distance is poorly known in most solitary bees. It appears to be a function of size since body size is negatively correlated with population genetic structure (Lopez-Uribe et al. 2019) and is positively correlated with foraging distance (van Niewstadt and Iraheta 1996, Gathmann and Tscharntke 2002, Greenleaf et al. 2007).
