Squash bees feed only on squash pollen. They eat squash pollen, drink squash nectar, and nest in protective ground tunnels at the base of squash plants. Squash is found in fields across the United States, so life is pretty good for squash bees. Just like their cousins, the long-horned bees, they are shy and rarely defend their nests.
