Urban bees

Many bee species can be found in urban areas. They live in parks or rural neighborhoods. In Bogotá (Colombia), Thygater aethiops can create big nest aggregations in some parks, but we don’t know much about their adaptation process to urban areas. In this study we focused on identifying the plants that this species use as pollen sources, and the seasonal reproductive cycles. You can check out the results here.
