Bees

According to the National Wildlife Federation, there are over 20,000 bee species worldwide. Like all insects, a bee’s body is divided into three parts: a head with two antennae, a thorax with six legs, and an abdomen.

Bees begin life as eggs, which hatch into larvae the feed and pupate and eventually emerge in their adult form, where they visit flowers to feed on and gather nectar and pollen.

However, something most people don’t know is that, unlike the hive-forming domesticated honeybee or wild bumble bee species, most bees are solitary nesters. They don’t form hives, create honey, or live a communal lifestyle.

Also, bees feed on sugary nectar and protein-rich pollen from flowering plants and perform a critical act of pollination. In fact, in the United States, bees pollinate a staggering 80 percent of all flowering plants, including approximately 75 percent of the fruits, nuts, and vegetables grown.

Unfortunately, both domesticated honeybees and many native bee species are in decline due to habitat destruction, disease, agricultural and lawn and garden practices, use of pesticides, habitat fragmentation, changes in land use, invasive species, and climate change.
