Like most bees, the ground nesting Anthophora squammulosa, that are native to parts of North and Central America, are a solitary species. The females lay their eggs in little underground nests and then head out to search for nectar to feed their developing larvae. This process usually takes place in environments with plenty of flora, to ensure a reliable supply of food.

                  Dear everyone who is saying "How can Bee's live near a 180 degree valcono?" Well they arent living near a 180 degree volcano, it says in the article " extreme temperatures which can get as high as 42°C (107.6°F)." 107.6 degrees F is 72.4 degrees away from 180. So in conclusion, The bees can live near a volcano because it is nearer to a temputure they can withstand. (not being mean, just clarifying)
