Squash bees were recently discovered in Oregon last year. This week we talk to Dr. Jim Cane about the biology of squash bees and what how far (and fast) it might spread into the state. We also take this opportunity to have Dr. Cane profile another summer bee that can be found in virtually any backyard in Oregon – the sunflower bee of the genus Melissodes<\/em>. \u00a0Dr. Cane recently retired as a Research Entomologist with the USDA\u2019s Pollinating Insect-Biology, Management, Systematics Research in Logan, UT. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
