Although busy hives filled with honeybees tend to dominate mainstream imagery and conversations about bee populations, 90 percent of the insects are actually solitary creatures that prefer to live outside of a colony. This majority, which is comprised of tens of thousands of species, are also superior pollinators in comparison to their social counterparts because they’re polylectic, meaning they collect the sticky substance from multiple sources, making them even more crucial to maintaining crops and biodiversity.

Ping me for on\off list
I would postulate that there are more “races” of bees than there are races of humans.

They all look like Uncle Bill when he didn’t shave for awhile.
“They’re polylectic”
Filthy, buzzing, stinging flying perverts.
Could this bee any more timely?
For those who say “they all look alike”, I say “stop the hate!”
Very cool🌼🐝❣
And I believe the place with the most diversity is California. Over a thousand different species of bees!
I think #6 and #7 are identical twins.
Bees are intelligent. I once rescued a bee flailing about, whose wings were getting soaked and dragged under in my glass of apple juice, by scooping it out with a dried leaf. The bee shook itself, flew around to face me a foot from my eyes, and wagged back and forth in place like the letter X for a couple of seconds until my mind recognized a “thank you” message, and flew away. An unforgettable moment in nature.
