''Anthemurgus passiflorae'' (the passionflower bee) is a small (7.5-8.5 mm long), black, bee that occurs from central Texas to North Carolina and north to Illinois.〔Michener, Charles D. 2000. Bees of the World. Johns Hopkins University Press. 913 pp.〕 Females of this solitary bee use collected nectar and pollen to feed larvae located in nests constructed in the ground (through mass provisioning). This uncommon bee is unique for two reasons: first, the only known pollen host is a single species—the yellow passionflower (''Passiflora lutea'') (such specialization is called oligolecty); second, because of its size and foraging habits, the passionflower bee is thought to contribute very little toward the pollination of its host plant. The genus ''Anthemurgus'' contains only the passionflower bee and thus is a monotypic taxon.〔( Neff, John L. 2003. The passionflower bee: ''Anthemurgus passiflorae''. Passiflora 13(1): 7, 9. )〕 ==References== 〔
