Hesperapis is a genus of bees in the family Melittidae. There are at least 30 described species in Hesperapis.[1][2][3][4][5][6]

Behavior

One species, Hesperapis rhodocerata, was recorded in one area[where?] in 2010 and 2015, appearing in those years but not the years in between. This suggests that their diapause may be prolonged over multiple years.[7]
