Twitter @juangangel Anthophiles (Anthophila, Greek for "flower-loving"), commonly known as bees, are a clade of hymenopteran insects, without taxonomic classification, within the superfamily Apoidea. It is a monophyletic lineage with more than 20,000 known species. Bees, like ants, evolved from wasps. The ancestors of bees were members of the family Crabronidae and were insect predators. It is possible that the first bees fed on the pollen that covered some of their prey and gradually began to feed their young with pollen instead of insects.1 There are many more species that have not yet been described. They are found on every continent except Antarctica. They are found in all habitats where flowering plants (magnoliophytes or angiosperms) are present. They are adapted to feed on pollen and nectar, using the former primarily as food for their larvae and the latter as energy. The best-known species is the honeybee (Apis mellifera), sometimes simply called the "honeybee." This species is a social insect that lives in swarms made up of three classes of individuals: queen, workers, and drones. However, most bee species are solitary, meaning they do not form swarms. There are also a number of semi-social species capable of forming colonies; for example, bumblebees. These colonies are not as large or long-lived as those of the honeybee.
