A set of high quality bee fields. Note that there are 3 species of Melissodes present along with one of their uncommon nest parasites (Triepeolus cressonii). Again we have the refuge bee Ptilothrix bombiformis here on the refuge, reflecting the native mallows in the brackish and fresh water portions of the marshes. Number of individuals and species totals fall within what would be expected from the region.
