wild bee

A bee is a small, industrious insect renowned for its vital role in pollination and the production of honey. Its body is typically fuzzy and segmented into three parts — head, thorax, and abdomen — covered in tiny hairs that help collect pollen. Most bees are black or brown with distinctive yellow or orange stripes, creating the familiar warning pattern that deters predators.

With two pairs of transparent wings that beat rapidly, a bee can hover, dart, and glide from flower to flower with remarkable agility. Its six legs, tipped with specialized structures, help it gather pollen and nectar. The bee’s antennae constantly twitch, sensing scents and vibrations.
