Abstract

Our objectives in this study were threefold: to gather information to be used in ongoing biosystematic studies of the bee genera 1) Hoplitis (Megachilidae), and 2) Stelis (Megachilidae), a cleptoparasitic genus of Hoplitis; 3) to inventory twig-nesting bees and wasps found in the Park for purposes of comparison with samples from other, less pristine, locations.
