Did you know

• There are nearly 4,000 bee species in the United States
• A majority are found in the southwest deserts and along the California Coast
• Most species are solitary (they do not live in a hive)
• Roughly 70% of bee species nest in the ground in holes they evacuate themselves
• Some bees are generalist and will visit many different kinds of flowers
• Other bees are specialists, only visiting one or two types of flowers
• Wild Bees are great pollinators - For Example, in some orchards two Mason Bees can pollinate as much as 100 European Honey Bees

All species are reproduced at 5X their actual size
