Bees are flying insects closely related to wasps and ants, known for their role in pollination and, in the case of the best-known bee species, the European honey bee, for producing honey and beeswax. Bees are a monophyletic lineage within the superfamily Apoidea and are presently considered a clade, called Anthophila. There are nearly 20,000 known species of bees in seven recognized biological families. They are found on every continent except Antarctica, in every habitat on the planet that contains insect-pollinated flowering plants.
Some species including honey bees, bumble bees, and stingless bees live socially in colonies. 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. Bee pollination is important both ecologically and commercially; the decline in wild bees has increased the value of pollination by commercially managed hives of honey bees.

Our native bees are in trouble, one thing we can do is plant lots of pollinator-friendly native plants in our gardens and leave wildflowers unsprayed along our field-sides and roadsides. Plants such as mountain mints, goldenrods and asters are good for bees (and butterflies), and we get to enjoy the sight and smell of the wildflowers too!

It's often claimed that a bumblebee can't fly according to the laws of aerodynamics. Scientifically, of course, this isn't tenable.
Es wird oft behauptet, eine Hummel könne nach den Gesetzen der Aerodynamik nicht fliegen. Wissenschaftlich natürlich nicht haltbar.

It's a very large wasp. I' ve never seen such a large one before. Thus one was roundabout 1 inch long or a little bit longer.

Insects in the genus Eremnophila are solitary hunting wasps in the family Sphecidae, found across parts of the Americas. Adults often nectar on flowers, but females spend much of their time hunting caterpillars to provision their nests. After locating a suitable larva, a female will paralyze it with her sting and carry it back to a burrow she has dug in sandy or loose soil. There she lays a single egg next to her immobilized prey which will serve as fresh food for the developing larva underground.
