some kids look down from the swings with their feet crossed
and feel nostalgia

and i prove time and time again
to myself
that i've always been on task

i give myself talent

Bees are flying insects,
closely related to wasps and ants.
Bees are a monophyletic lineage
within the superfamily Apoidea,
presently classified by the unranked taxon name Anthophila.
There are slightly fewer than 20,000 known species of bee,
though many are undescribed
and the actual number is probably higher.
They are found on every continent except Antarctica,
in every habitat on the planet that contains flowering dicotyledons.

Bees, like ants, are essentially a highly specialized form of wasp.
The ancestors of bees were wasps in the family Crabronidae,
and therefore predators of other insects.
The switch from insect prey to pollen
may have resulted from the consumption of prey insects
that were flower visitors and were partially covered with pollen
when they were fed to the wasp larvae.
This same evolutionary scenario
has also occurred within the vespoid wasps,
where the group known as "pollen wasps"
also evolved from predatory ancestors.

Visiting flowers is a dangerous occupation with high mortality rates.
Many assassin bugs and crab spiders hide in flowers
to capture unwary bees.
Others are lost to birds in flight.
Insecticides used on blooming plants can kill large numbers of bees,
both by direct poisoning and by contamination of their food supply.
A honey bee queen may lay 2000 eggs per day during spring buildup,
but she also must lay 1000 to 1500 eggs per day
during the foraging season,
simply to replace daily casualties.

The population value of bees
depends partly
on the individual efficiency of the bees,
but also on the population itself.
