Calabaza plants are monoecious and are pollinated by insects like honeybees and bumblebees. Bees, such as honeybees, are the most commonly known pollinators. The flowers support pollinators, including of special value to Native bees, honeybees, and bumblebees. As the Africanized honeybee migrates further north, colonies continue to interbreed with European honeybees. The flowers can be a major nectar source for honeybees and other pollinators. Various scorpion, spider and insect species include the commercially useful honeybees, silkworms and lac insects. Honeydew is used as food by ants, honeybees, and many other insects. This is an important plant for honeybees, butterflies and other insects. This, of course, results in fewer honeybees for pollination. They have been joined with an exhibit featuring a colony of honeybees and their hive. The greater wax moth is well known for its parasitization of honeybees and their hives. "G. mellonella" larvae parasitize wild honeybees. The sweet-scented flowers are a good nectar source for honeybees and butterflies. In February 2009, Africanized honeybees were found in southern Utah. A swarm of honeybees makes their debut in the very first chapter.
