Abstract:

Hesperapis kayella is endemic to the Columbia Basin and known from only four locations in Idaho and Nevada. It is a specialist forager on plants in the genus Tiquilia (crinklemat). Little is known about this bee or its biology. Studies of both nesting and foraging habits would be valuable.

Originally, the article appeared on a CD-ROM having the title and editors mentioned in this Xerces-recommended citation, which is on the website posting): Shepherd, M. D. 2005. Species Profile: Hesperapis kayella. In Shepherd, M. D., D. M. Vaughan, and S. H. Black (Eds). Red List of Pollinator Insects of North America. CD-ROM Version 1 (May 2005).

Access date is especially important to use at this Xerces website as no one there currently (8/2015) redates after updates. Major revisions, however, result in a different document being posted.
