I never realized just how many types of bees there are! There are over 20 000 species of bees, 800-100 of those are native to Canada! One of the most widely recognized bees - the Honey Bee is an immigrant (like me). Most native bees are solitary, don’t live in hives or make honey and rarely sting. They aren’t even always gold and yellow! It makes you question everything, doesn't it?!
