Phenacolletes mimus, Australian Shorthair, specimen collected by Laurence Packer in Australia In the dry, sparsely populated portions of Western Australia one can find the Australian Shorthair. While it is a pollen collecting bee, it has very short hairs, making it similar to some of the short, thick bodied waspy relatives of bees. This species seems to collect pollen only from large Hibiscus-like flowers of an endemic Australian plant called Alyogyne . The males appear to spend almost their entire adult lives on these flowers, presumably mating with any visiting females. Almost every patch of the flowers on Laurence’s expedition yielded some of these bees, even those in towns. Each plant produces numerous flowers, each flower is loaded with pollen, so it is possible that even a small plant population can provide enough food to maintain a population of its own pollinators.
