Africanized honey bees create problems at three levels: ecological (competition and hybridization), beekeeping/agriculture (management and genetics), and public safety (defensive behavior). Africanized honey bees can reach very high colony densities and heavily exploit floral resources, which can reduce nectar and pollen available to native pollinators like stingless bees in Neotropical systems. Experimental additions of Africanized colonies near flower patches caused stingless bees to become le

Have you ever seen a bee collect pollen up close? 🐝🔍 The average honey bee can visit more than 2,000 flowers in one day! These busy workers play a crucial role in pollination, where they use the hairs on their bodies to carry large grains of pollen between plants and major crops. Bees are essential for the health of people and the planet.
