Bees are flying insects that pollinate flowering plants and produce honey. There are nearly 20,000 known species of bees found worldwide, except in Antarctica. Bees have three body parts - a head, thorax, and abdomen. Certain species like honey bees have a stinger on their abdomen. Bees evolved over 100 million years ago and likely originated in Asia. They play an important ecological role in plant reproduction and food production.

2. Introduction
Bees are flying insects closely related to wasps and ants, known for
their role in pollination and, in the case of the best-known bee species,
the European honey bee, for producing honey and beeswax. Bees
are a monophyletic lineage within the superfamily Apoidea, presently
considered as a clade Anthophila. There are nearly 20,000 known
species of bees in seven to nine recognized families,[1] 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 insect-pollinated flowering plants.

5. History
Of bees
The bee is a highly sophisticated insect that has evolved over
millions of years. The earliest recorded Bee was found in
Myanmar. It was found encased in amber and has been dated as
100 million years old. It's likely that the bee originated in the Far
East. In those early days, the bees were more like wasps, eating
other insects rather than nectar and pollen. It's unclear exactly
when bees decided to become vegetarian but considering the
choice between eating a fly and some delicious, sweet tasting
nectar from a cherry tree in full bloom, it seems like a good
decision.

6. Honey
Honey is a sugary food substance
produced and stored by bees and
other insects. It is produced from
the sugary secretions of plants or
insects, such as floral nectar or
aphid honeydew, through
regurgitation, enzymatic activity,
and water evaporation. The variety
of honey produced by honey bees
(the genus Apis) is the most well-
known, due to its worldwide
commercial production and human
consumption.
