Hesperapis is a genus of bees in the family Melittidae. There are at least 30 described species in Hesperapis. The genus is very uncommon and is restricted only to coastal barrier islands in the Gulf of Mexico and dunes of the Great Lakes. Its abdomen is flattened and its integument or "skin" is soft compared to other groups of bees.
Behavior
One species, Hesperapis rhodocerata, was recorded in one area 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.
