Found globally in varied environments including gardens, woodlands, orchards, and meadows wherever flowering plants are present.

Nectar and pollen from a wide variety of flowering plants.

Highly social insects living in large colonies. They communicate through 'waggle dances' and exhibit complex division of labor among queens, drones, and workers.

Essential pollinators for ecosystem health and agricultural food production. Risks include painful stings, which can cause severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis) in some individuals.
