Field Notes

Description:

Bees are flying insects closely related to wasps and ants, and are known for their role in pollination and for producing honey and beeswax. Bees are a monophyletic lineage within the superfamily Apoidea, presently classified by the unranked taxon name Anthophila. There are nearly 20,000 known species of bees in seven to nine recognized families, though many are undescribed and the actual number is probably higher.

Habitat:

They are found on every continent except Antarctica, in every habitat on the planet that contains insect-pollinated flowering plants.

Notes:
