I've been looking for information on the squash bee, Peponapis,
particularly information on its culture. Has anyone tried to propagate this
bee?
Occasionally I see high populations of this bee, but most areas here in
coastal South Carolina seem to be devoid of it, probably from pesticides.
What can we do to reintroduce it in barren areas? Growers, some with very
large acreage, are relying on honeybees and occasional bumblebees. It would
be good to supplement them.
