Bees actually have 5 eyes! Two compound eyes that we're familiar with, plus three similar simple eyes that form a triangle on its forehead  

Bees are essential pollinators, playing a crucial role in the reproduction of many flowering plants.

Honeybees have intricated social structures within their colonies, with a single queen, thousands of female worker bees, and a few hundred male drones.

Honeybees communicate through a complex system of dances known as the waggle dance.

There are over 20,000 known species of bees worldwide, each with unique behaviors and roles within ecosystems.

Honeybees produce honey from the nectar of flowers, which serves as a vital food source for the colony.

Bees collect pollen from flowers, facilitating cross-pollination and plant reproduction.

Bees are highly efficient flyers, capable of navigating long distances in search of food sources.

Bees face threats including habitat loss, pesticide exposure, parasites and diseases, climate change, and invasive species.

Bees produce beeswax to construct honeycomb cells for storing honey and raising brood.

Some species of bees exhibit migratory behavior, moving seasonally in search of suitable nesting sites and food sources.

Some bees, like certain bumblebees, perform buzz pollination to extract pollen from certain flowers.

Bees hold cultural significance worldwide, symbolizing industriousness, community, and harmony with nature.

Wasps live on every continent except Antarctica.

Social wasps use their stingers as a defense, whereas solitary wasps use their stingers and venom for hunting.  

Wasps are important predators and pollinators, playing roles in controlling insect populations and assisting in plant reproduction.

Unlike bees, most wasps are solitary insects, although some species live in colonies with a queen and workers.

Wasps communicate through pheromones, chemical signals that convey information about food sources, danger, and reproductive status.

There are thousands of species of wasps worldwide, with diverse behaviors and ecological roles.

Some wasps are parasitic, laying their eggs on or inside other insects, which serve as hosts for their developing larvae.

Social wasp colonies typically consist of a queen, workers, and males, with each member having specific roles in the colony.

Wasps are known for their distinctive black and yellow striped bodies, although coloration can vary between species.

Many wasps are predators, feeding on other insects such as caterpillars, flies, and spiders.

Wasps can sting multiple times, unlike bees, which typically lose their stinger after one sting.

Some wasp species build elaborate nests from paper-like material, while others burrow in the ground or use existing cavities for nesting.

While some wasps are considered beneficial for pest control, others, such as yellow jackets, can be nuisances and pose risks to humans.

Wasps have cultural significance in various societies, often symbolizing traits such as aggression, protection, or industriousness.
