Bats probably eat very few honey bees, but not because they don't necessary like them. Bats are by nature nocturnal, but bees are not, so when the bats are flying the bees will be in their hives; and the bats will be in their roosts when the bees are flying.
Bees are quite similar to wasps.
Wasps and hornets are similar to bees.
butterflys and bees
Hornets build nests (or hives) similar to bees.
wasps, bees, moths and bats !
Male bees, or drones, do not have a sting. In bees, wasps and similar insects the sting is a modified ovipositor (egg laying tube) -- an organ that males do not have.
Bumble bees are bees. If they sting, it is a bee sting. Robber flies can bite humans. It is not similar to a bee sting.
It sounds like the bees you are describing may be bumble bees. Bumble bees can have varying sizes, some larger than honey bees, and they are known to nest in the ground with structures similar to honeycomb. Bumble bees are important pollinators and generally not aggressive unless disturbed.
If bees vanish everything would eventually die... Watch the bee movie this would he a very similar situation
Yes. Bees eveolved in the Cretaceous period about 100 million years ago. Bats first appear in the fossil record in the Paleogene period about 50 million years ago.
Some insects that closely resemble bees include hoverflies, bee-mimicking moths, and certain types of wasps. These insects have similar coloration and patterning to bees as a form of defense or mimicry.
