What types of bees live in the ground?
Ground Bees
Ground bees are also known as 'mining bees' as they dig tunnels in the ground. The ground bee is small in size and black in color. The tunnels are made to provide shelter to their offspring. For this, they choose well-shaded areas with loose soil and less vegetation. The tunnels contain chambers in the end, made by female bees. These chambers are used to store food for the baby bees. Though they are not aggressive, they can sting. These bees live in separate but close-by nests.

Remember ... bees are fat, wasps and hornets are longer and thinner.

API is an Application Programming Interface.
It is an interface that defines the ways by which an application program may request services from libraries and/or operating systems.
An API determines the vocabulary and calling conventions the programmer should employ to use the services. It may include specifications for routines, data structures, object classes, and protocols used to communicate between the requesting software and the library.
An API itself is largely abstract in that it specifies an interface and controls the behavior of the objects specified in that interface. The software that provides the functionality described by an API is said to be an implementation of the API. An API is typically defined in terms of the programming language used to build the application.
The API initialism may sometimes be used as a reference, not only to the full interface, but also to one function, or even a set of multiple APIs provided by an organization. Thus, the scope of meaning is usually determined by the person or document that communicates the information.

How many bees have to sting you before you die?
Death from bee stings results from anaphylactic shock. Because bee stings cause an immune response, just one bee sting can kill some people. The immune response can be triggered on the first sting, on the second, third, fourth sting or more, depending on the person. Aperson can get stung with no response, but at a later time, even years later, react severely to being stung.
