Rediviva albifasciata

Rediviva albifasciata is a species of oil-collecting bee in the Rediviva genus and Melittidae family endemic to South Africa.

[1] It is the smallest of all Rediviva species.

[1]: 59 The distribution of Rediviva albifasciata is strongly congruent with the distribution of the plant Colpias mollis.

[1]: 61  Its size allows it to collect oil from C. mollis flowers much more easily than other bees, such as R. bicava and R.

[1]: 59 The forelegs of R. albifasciata are covered in blade-like hairs ventrally that allow it to collect and rupture elaiophores from C.
