ALT Infographic showing pictures of the various Native Bees in New Mexico. Text reads: Native Bee Families in New Mexico Family: Andrenidae Nest in the ground (usually in sandy soil), giving them the common name of ‘miner bees’. Family: Apidae Includes honeybees and bumble bees as well as less well-known groups of native bees such as long-horned bees, digger bees, and squash bees. Family: Colletidae All of them have eyes that slant slightly toward the mouth (when viewed from the front), giving them a slightly ‘heart-shaped’ face. Family: Halictidae Some of New Mexico’s most colorful species. includes important pollinators of alfalfa seed crops, commercial sunflowers, and watermelons. Family: Megachilidae Leaf-cutter, mason, carder, and blue orchard bees. Nest in holes in dead wood or in hollow twigs; they get their common name because they use chewed leaves or mud to construct and seal their nests.
