The bee belongs to a group of solitary bees commonly known as "wool carder bees" because their cotton-like brood cells are made of plant hairs.
The group is the fourth delegation of visiting faculty from the university to visit OSU.
Three children who were left alone in an unair-conditioned apartment poured "20 or more" bottles of water on themselves to stay cool, according to an arrest report filed Tuesday after the children's mother was arrested.
The woman, Yomara Alvarado, 25, was arrested about 6:30 p.m. and was jailed in lieu of $75,000 bail on three complaints of child endangerment.
The children were placed in Department of Human Services custody after being found about 5:40 p.m., police said.
Alvarado's arrest report states that a Tulsa police officer found the three children -- a 5-year-old, a 4-year-old and a 2-year-old -- alone in an unlocked apartment in the 1000 block of East 57th Place. The temperature in the apartment was 90 degrees, and there was no food, the report states.
