Bees
BEES
Bees are flying insects closely related to wasps and ants. There are nearly 20,000 known
species of bee, in nine recognized families, though many are undescribed and the actual
number is probably higher. They are found on every continent except Antarctica, in every
habitat on the planet that contains insect-pollinated flowering plants.
Bees are adapted for feeding on nectar and pollen, the former primarily as an energy source,
and the latter primarily for protein and other nutrients. Most pollen is used as food for larvae.
Bees have a long proboscis (a complex "tongue") that enables them to obtain the nectar from
flowers
