Bees, wasps & co
Bees and wasps belong to the Hymenoptera order. With over 100,000 different species, they specialize in a wide variety of habitats worldwide.
Over 500 different bee species live in Germany. The colony-forming honeybee and the furry bumblebees are known to almost everyone. The other wild bees mostly live alone (solitary) or in nest communities.
There are also a large number of solitary species of wasps. Hornets are among the colony-forming wasps. In addition to hornets, there are 12 other native wasp species that form colonies. Only two wasp species are interested in our food.
