Melitoma taurea, the mallow bee, is a species of chimney bee in the family Apidae.[1][2][3][4][5] It is found in North America.[1] It has strong white bands on its abdomen, but is not as hairy as the genera Melissodes and Eucera.[6] Uniquely, the species has a long tongue that, even when folded, reaches all the way to the abdomen.[6]
