There are more than 20,000 bee species around the world.

Bees live in habitats from low deserts to towering mountain ranges. Some nest in stems, others collect pebbles, and a few even buzz pollinate. Many are smaller than a grain of rice, yet each plays a unique role in maintaining the health of entire ecosystems.
