Beautiful Bees

Bee Hotel

This remarkable structure can be found in Place Des Jardins in Paris and is known as a bee hotel. You may be wondering what bees need a hotel for, when they make their own hives. The truth is that many species of bees are solitary – the do not live in hives but instead construct their own nest. The main reason for this is because in these species every female is fertile and this would not make for comfortable communal living in a hive.

Bee Hummingbird

Half of the length is made of the tail and the beak! Females are a bit larger compared to the males.
