Insect Identifier Guide: Types of Bees

The honey bee is a social bee that's all about the honey. They live in colonies and work together to make honey, which they sell on Etsy for outrageous prices.

Bumblebees are solitary bees that are actually just really grumpy bees who don't want to be bothered with all the social niceties of hive life. They just want to fly around and be left alone.

Sweat bees are bees that are actually just really into personal grooming. They spend all their time collecting nectar and then spend all their time waxing and waning about it.

Killer bees are like the goth cousin of the bee world. They're all like 'Oh, you think you can just go around killing people with your stinger? Please, I'll show you the true meaning of 'killer'. They're actually just really into taxidermy.

Carpenter bees are like the hipsters of the bee world. They're all about making their own hives, and they're all like 'Oh, you can just buy a pre-made hive at Home Depot? No way, man.'

Digger bees are like the bee equivalent of the hipsters' favorite coffee shop. They're all about digging and finding the best nectar, and they're always like 'Oh, you want to know about the best spot to dig? Let me tell you, it's over here.'
