Honeybees are only one representative (and an alien one at that) of a fascinating and varied group of insects.
Their cousins include the teddy bears of the insect world, the bumblebees, bright-colored sweat bees, tiny carpenter bees, mooching cuckoo bees, and the popular mason bees.
Last year I made it a goal to notice and then photograph as many bee species as possible in my own backyard. I was staggered by the variety—I still haven’t identified them all.
Here are just a few of the kinds I discovered.
