Michener’s 2007 “The Bees of the World” is a landmark for the study of bees: 7 families, 21 subfamilies, 58 tribes, 443 genera, and 927 subgenera of extant bees were recognized. Many changes have occurred since, as shown in the graph. #beesoftheworld #bees #classification #taxonomy #nomenclature

One of the most alarming things about this study on the effect of pesticides on native bees is that some bumblebee queens (Bombus impatiens) preferred pesticide-contaminated soil when looking for a site to spend the winter. 🧪🪲🪳🌎 🚜🕳️🐝❄️ OA 🔗 doi.org/10.1016/j.sc... www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
