Bee-eaters are colorful birds belonging to the family Meropidae. They are known for their vibrant plumage, which often includes shades of green, blue, and yellow. These birds primarily feed on insects, especially bees, wasps, and other flying insects, which they catch in mid-air. They are found in warm regions across Africa, Europe, and Asia. These birds typically nest in colonies, digging tunnels in sandy banks. Bee-eaters are social creatures, often seen perched on branches or wires, where they can easily spot their prey. Their unique hunting technique and striking appearance make them a favorite among birdwatchers and nature enthusiasts.
