Today you get a special doodle delivery! Since both @pixiezilla and squashbee on tumblr asked for Aziraphale and Crowley having a picnic, you get a story...

Thanks to the Entomology Research Museum at University of California Riverside (#UCRC) for the squash #bee loan! 🐝 #bees #squashbee #pollinators #entomology #collection #research #science #Peponapis #Xenoglossa #Eucera

Yesterday I helped set up hoophouses for some #squashbee experiments. Morals of yesterday: field work rarely goes as planned, and always make sure your drill is going to right way.

Bee kind to your pollinating friend -- Squash Bee 🐝 #squashbee #bee #beeart #cuteart

Use your manners and thank a #squashbee for all the pumpkins this year. Their sole pollen source comes from plants in the genus Cucurbita — a group that includes, you guessed it, PUMPKINS! 🐝🎃 #nativebees #pumpkinpicking #nationalpumpkinday

Squash bees are now emerging in State College, PA! 🐝 Look for them, & cucumber beetles, in a pumpkin/squash flowers, early in the morning/before noon. 🎃 They are ~ honey-bee-sized; males have a yellow facial spot. ☀️ 📷: Laura Jones #squashbee #Eucera #Peponapis #BeesOfPA

At the @lopezuribelab, we have a lot of reasons the #squashbee Eucera (#Peponapis) pruinosa is our #FavoriteBee/#AbelhaFavorita!🐝 1) Squash bees specialize on Cucurbita (pumpkin/squash) pollen. Females have special adaptations for collecting it! 📷: @LauraJonesEco #WorldBeeDay

#squashbee season is not yet finished although its winding down as #pumpkins are being harvested.l and fall rolls in. Collecting #bees for #pathogen screening, #cucurbitlovers, #Gardening #PumpkinPatchProwler @PumpkinCitSci

The cutest male Peponapis is extending his proboscis so elegantly when another male arrives, rudely interrupting his moment. The first bee goes, “Bro don’t harsh my mellow,” and starts grooming. #beebros #squashbee #bees #beestory

My beautiful morning experience today in a #cucurbita field. Everything you see flying in this video is a #SquashBee. I counted over 300 males in 10 minutes. This farmer has plenty of pollination services provided by #wildbees @lopezuribelab @PumpkinSci
