I love our native cactus (though I've been attacked by a few starting at age 3) and had not yet used this photo. The large spines can be avoided but the tiny, barbed fuzzies (glochids) are treacherous and hard to find or remove. Duct tape works best!. Date: 2 April 2011, 09:58.

Description: This fat, happy member of the family Megachilidae primarily pollinates Opuntia species, like the Opuntia humifusa above. All of the pricklypear at Frenchman's Forest Natural Area have several of these cool bees buzzing around them as soon as the flowers open each morning. Female leaf cutter bees, instead of storing pollen in leg baskets (like honeybees), have a very furry abdomen that collects and stores pollen grains. This explains their crazy crawling and swimming antics on flowers. This hard working mother is a solitary bee and she raises her young on her own. She will mix the pollen with a little nectar to make "bee loaves" to feed her young! www.fs.fed.us/wildflowers/pollinators/pollinator-of-the-m..
