Hylaeus kuakea is a tiny solitary bee in the family Colletidae, endemic to the Hawaiian island of Oahu. Like other Hawaiian Hylaeus species, it lacks the pollen-carrying scopa of most bees and instead transports provisions internally; it is distinguished by ivory-colored facial markings. The species...
Why this score
Extremely range-restricted endangered Hawaiian endemic, notable for rarity and conservation urgency, with limited ecological knowledge preventing a higher score.
Scoring methodology
Hylaeus facilis is a species of Hawaiian yellow-faced bee belonging to the family Colletidae. This solitary bee was historically found on several Hawaiian islands but experienced significant population declines due to habitat loss, invasive species, and the effects of human development. In 2016, it...
Why this score
Federally endangered Hawaiian endemic with severe range contraction, giving it high conservation importance but limited biological documentation.
Scoring methodology
Hylaeus hilaris is a cleptoparasitic yellow-faced bee endemic to Maui Nui, notable for its rarity and 2016 United States endangered listing.
Why this score
Critically imperiled Hawaiian yellow-faced bee with protected status and exceptional island endemism, though little studied beyond conservation assessments.
Scoring methodology
Hylaeus assimulans is a species of solitary bee endemic to the Hawaiian islands, specifically documented on Maui, Lanai, and Kahoolawe. Commonly known as a yellow-faced bee, it belongs to the family Colletidae and lacks the pollen-carrying hairs found on many other bee species, instead transporting...
Why this score
Endangered Hawaiian endemic with major conservation significance, limited range, and strong symbolic value despite sparse public ratings.
Scoring methodology
Hylaeus communis is a species of masked bee in the family Colletidae, described by the Finnish entomologist William Nylander in 1852. It is widely distributed across the Palearctic region, including Europe and parts of Asia. Like other members of the genus Hylaeus, females of this species carry poll...
Why this score
Widespread adaptability and unusual internal pollen transport make this masked bee scientifically interesting and readily encountered.
Scoring methodology
Hylaeus anthracinus is a species of yellow-faced bee endemic to Hawaii, first described scientifically in 1853. The bee is notable for being among the first bee species to receive protection under the US Endangered Species Act, along with six other Hawaiian Hylaeus species in 2016. These small, blac...
"Hylaeus signatus" is a species of solitary masked bee native to Europe, first described by the entomologist Georg Wolfgang Franz Panzer in 1798. Like other bees in the Hylaeus genus, it lacks external pollen-carrying structures and instead transports pollen and nectar internally in its crop. The sp...
Hylaeus punctulatissimus is a solitary masked bee native to Europe, first described by Frederick Smith in 1842, recognized by its distinct markings.
Hylaeus longiceps is a critically endangered species of Hawaiian yellow-faced bee first described by Perkins in 1899 and threatened by habitat loss.
Kellogg's yellow-faced bee, Hylaeus kelloggi, is a species of solitary, yellow-faced or masked bee in the family Colletidae. Like other Hylaeus bees, it lacks the external pollen brushes found on many bees and transports collected pollen internally in its crop. The species is native to North America...
Why this score
Internal pollen transport and distinctive facial markings are interesting, yet narrow recognition and limited ecological prominence keep assessments moderate.
Scoring methodology
Hylaeus mesillae is a species of masked bee in the genus Hylaeus and the family Colletidae. It was described by Theodore Dru Alison Cockerell in 1896 and is recorded from North America. Like other Hylaeus bees, it is a solitary bee rather than a colony-forming honey bee, and it uses existing narrow...
Why this score
Broad North American range and cavity nesting provide ecological credibility, though small size and limited fame constrain enthusiasm.
Scoring methodology
Hylaeus modestus is a species of bee in the family Colletidae and the genus Hylaeus, a group commonly called masked bees because of the pale facial markings found in many members. Hylaeus bees are generally small, solitary bees that carry collected pollen internally rather than in external pollen ba...
Hylaeus leptocephalus is a small bee in the family Colletidae and a member of the masked-bee genus Hylaeus. It is native to the Palearctic but became established in North America during the early twentieth century, where it occurs in the United States and southern Canada. In North America it is asso...
Why this score
Successful introduction demonstrates adaptability, but invasive-range concerns and limited visual distinction weaken its overall reputation.
