Apididae
The family Apididae includes a diverse group of bees, most notably honeybees and bumblebees. These insects are known for their role in pollination, which is essential for the reproduction of many flowering plants. Apididae species are characterized by their hairy bodies, which help them collect pollen, and their social structures, with many living in colonies.
Apididae bees are found worldwide, except in extreme environments like polar regions. They exhibit various behaviors, including foraging for nectar and pollen, building nests, and communicating through dances. Their ecological importance is significant, as they contribute to biodiversity and agricultural productivity.
